Hi gang,
I suspect the voltage regulator is shot in my alternator. For the past few days, i've seen the volt meter gauge on dash almost maxed out for no apparent reason.
Tested battery, its good.
Put key in RUN position -- volts are normal on dash
Started car, have seen the voltage rise to almost max for no reason. Other times, it sits perfect in dead center.
The volt gauge always goes back to "home" position when key turned off........so i dont suspect stepper motor.
Thoughts?
