xfish 20 Posted September 7, 2014 Hey guys, The volt meter on my EL dash, show just over 12 when idle. Should it be sitting nearer to 14, or is 12 the norm? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SPArKy_Dave 8,892 Posted September 7, 2014 Probably the old EL Voltage drop issue. Measure at the alternator, then across the battery terminals, and then measure the voltage in the car - at the lighter socket or similar. My EL Wagon has this issue. Volts drop as the engine warms up. Alternator still charging at 14volts steady. It's a poor connection at the main fuse box I think - after hunting around with a volt meter.
