EricM9104 Posted October 26, 2009 Report Posted October 26, 2009 Any belt slipping? Sounds like the alt could be indeed going out... Quote 2015 Honda Civic LX 4dr | 110k miles | Stock 1996 GMC Yukon SLT 4dr 4wd | 260k miles | JVC Head-unit

LiL PiNoY Posted October 27, 2009 Report Posted October 27, 2009 I have the same problem. all my lights flicker and my voltage meter goes up and down but never a difference greater than .5 volts and alternator does make funny noises.when i accelerate the meter goes back to normal. but when i put a load on the alternator the flickering goes away... do i have the same problem. oh and yea the meter problem goes away when a load is put on as well.

finkster Posted October 27, 2009 Author Report Posted October 27, 2009 yea maybe were seeing the same problem here. faulty regulator maybe? I drove it last night for about 30 mins and the lights were still flickering. My frined put a dmm on it and it reads between 14-14.8 volts fluctuating a lot inbetween. Idle it starts dropping bad...even when no significant load is applied. The only real bad part about this is the time it takes to take the alt out in my car....its a real bish in my car. what kind of alt do u have?

wL<3bass Posted October 27, 2009 Report Posted October 27, 2009 It most likely the regulator the regulator went out in the stock alt on my dad's '05 trailblazer....his was doing the same thing except going from 14v to 18v up down very quickly.

LiL PiNoY Posted October 27, 2009 Report Posted October 27, 2009 i have a stinger one bought from my local audio shop. this is gonna be funny but i bought it for 800 and been having a lot of trouble with them so i think im going to buy one from dc and get my money back because i think this shop likes to screw a lot of people over. also i noticed this when my alternator makes funny noises like when its turning my lights flicker on sequence with it so im sure it has to be the alternator. opinions on what i am dealing with and what i should do? Sorry for thread jacking just thought we had the same problem so i decided to not just make a new thread. Quote
