cuetip Posted May 9, 2012 Report Posted May 9, 2012 this is my voltage at idle, and drops to the high to mid 11s, but did take off the cap to Quote
SnowDrifter Posted May 9, 2012 Report Posted May 9, 2012 No where near enough information here. What is your alternator? How much power? What else have you done to your electrical? If this is your charging voltage, your alternator is taking a crap. Get a new one.

Skullz Posted May 9, 2012 Report Posted May 9, 2012 How many batteries do you have? Get a DMM and check the actual voltage before relying on that volt meter as it may be off. Quote 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2
skittlesRgood Posted May 9, 2012 Report Posted May 9, 2012 first 2 posts nailed it. where is the voltage meter hooked up to?

cuetip Posted May 10, 2012 Author Report Posted May 10, 2012 (edited) ok stock alt,just 1 and its the stock battery, and big 3 under the hood... i was getting this before and the belts needed to be replaced, so i had a buddy do that.. and the meter is connected to my remote wire on my amp Edited May 10, 2012 by cuetip Quote
Guest Posted May 10, 2012 Report Posted May 10, 2012 the red + wire on the meter is connected to the remote wire? it should be: red to amp battery + blue to remote black to amp battery - if thats how its wired, and its still 12.9, then the alt is going bad. Quote
cuetip Posted May 10, 2012 Author Report Posted May 10, 2012 ok lol kranny i had it totally hooked up wrong.. i had the red with the remote, and also had the blue with the remote gosh... thanks for helping Quote
Guest Posted May 10, 2012 Report Posted May 10, 2012 (edited) well that would explain the low voltage haha. remote wire is usually in the 12's edit: post back when the wiring is corrected though, just to see if the problem persists. Edited May 10, 2012 by Kranny Quote
cuetip Posted May 10, 2012 Author Report Posted May 10, 2012 lol kranny, its back up to 14.4 but i dont think thats right.... until i have someone check the amperage of my alt Quote
SnowDrifter Posted May 10, 2012 Report Posted May 10, 2012 14.4 is normal. Pretty much 'perfect' Quote ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444
