xfish 20 Posted June 14, 2014 Hey guys I was driving around last night, then all of a sudden my speco volt meter + ghia dash volt meter showed low voltage. I charged her up over night, and started her this morning. I put my volt meter reader on the alternator, and she showed 12.6, and my battery in the boot was showing 12.6 also. Is there something in the car that would be making her drop like this, or is my alternator dying? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gerg 10,871 Posted June 14, 2014 Sounds like the latter unfortunately. Obviously your alt light works? Fusible link from alt to batt ok? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xfish 20 Posted June 14, 2014 Yeah, I half except that it's a dying alternator, but if I put my volt meter tester on bat/alt when car is turned off, i'm showing 13.6v........ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trev Vaa 1,185 Posted June 14, 2014 whats the Alt showing when its running? voltage drop on the battery while running will be from running the spark and other electrics, pretty common. voltage reg has probably just shit itself, pull it out if you can and get a new set of brushes if you feel like soldering or a whole reg. most likely the cause.
