Electrical mischief
OK Audiphiles I need your collective genius on this one.
Situation-stop and go traffic, 2/29/96, outside temp 29F
Heater on-fan set on low, radio on, parking lights on. Digital dash
voltmeter reading 13.2.
While stopped the temperature went high enough to kick on the radiator
cooling fan, it is supposed to do that, BUT my dash lights momentarily dimmed
and my radio went dead for a second. This happened a number of times. I'm
pretty sure that when the fan came on and the car was moving, the above did
not occur, tough to tell. Also when the cooling fan kicked on the volts
reading went to 12.1 which I feel is one hell of a draw. If it means
anything, both the battery and alternator are less than 5 months old.
Any ideas, solutions and/or strategies would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
