when electrical gremlins attack part 4kq

[Doug Hill]

Hey listers,
         This evening on my way home from work my voltometer started going
on the fritz. The first thing that happened was the little led lights went
from the normal around 12.8ish volts in the green to red. I started to
wonder what might be up so I turned off all my elec stuff (except headlights
of course) like stereo, heater, rear defroster, etc. and it went back into
green. Then I went to stop to see if my alt belt may have come loose or had
broken (the belt broke the second week I had the car) all belts OK. All the
main power lines appear to be in tact. Once I restarted the car the volt
light was in the red again and after driving for a bit it came into green,
then would go to red every time I'd brake then back to green and so on and
so forth. The only thing that seemed to dim were the dash lights, but only
slightly. Any suggestions?
TIA
