Hey Guys,
I have this problem too, so I decided to bust out the multimeter.
I received some strange results, and would like your opinion.
First, the voltage across the battery after sitting for the night was about 13.3V.
This seemed normal, so I rigged up the meter so that I could see it during startup. This is where the results started to get a little strange.
After starting the car, the voltage jumped and stayed above 17 volts. Turning the radio up, high beams on, and fan on full would drop it to around 15.6-16 volts.
After turning the car off, the battery remained around 15.5, and slowly dropped. After about 30 minutes, the voltage still was up around 14.5
Any thoughts? What is required to test the voltage regulator?
Thanks Guys,
- Zack
