Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Troubleshooting Weird problem....

I have a weird problem, whenever I rev the car above like 4k on the tach....once I get that high in the RPM's my voltage light keeps flickering on and off and then sometimes all the lights get really bright in the car and the ABS light will go on too for like 10 seconds and then go back to normal.

Could this be something wrong with the voltage regulator? If so, does that mean that my alternator is going bad and have to replace that or is there something else that I can replace to fix it.

Thanks guys

As i see you didNt do any search on that subject. If you do you will find that you have a bad alternator. Very common on V6, when reving above 4000rpm, you got a flickering battery light. Your alternaor is probably crack.
You need to replace, but just to be sure check all the connections before and have it test.

Nic.

If they check it at the store and say it's good, don't put it back in. They don't spin it that fast!

Ok well I guess that I should start to look for another alternator then. Thanks for the help guys.
