Hello again all,
I love electrical issues ;)..although this is a minor one on an 88ksq. Am I
correct in thinking that the alternator (voltage regulator actually) is shot
if I'm reading a solid 16 volts at the battery terminals while the system is
charging? Would dirty/corroded connections (plastic cover still in place on
back of alternator) in the circuit have the same effect? I just looked at the
prices at Blau for the rebuilt Bosch(s) units and I gagged at the core
charge...refunded or not! I've tried TPC a few times for comparison but the
line is busy. Any 'been there burned thats"? TIA
