Here's the pic. The needle never moves. I'd use the light I circled. It is partialy hooked up to a sensor for the parking brake so it doesn't work.

I don't know how you'd do that. I'm sure it's doable. However, as with all gauges, the ammeter only monitors the system and tells you what's happening. It tells you if the alternator is charging the battery or not and gives an idea of the rate of charge or discharge. It does not control the charging process. Basically, the voltage regulator controls your charging system as long as it, the alternator and battery are in good condition..
