C-Fizzy Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 Ok, i have a 92 celica, running an audioque 1200 to 2 DD 1508's. Big 3 done, stock electrical. My voltage on a regular basis is fine, never drops down past 13. But recently, after redoing my route for my power wire for the big 3, i have been getting random spikes of energy causing my voltage to rise to 17+ volts. This turns my amp into protect mode, and my battery light in my guage cluster comes on. Sometimes it will go back down to 14, sometimes it'll stay that way until i completely remove the key. Can anyone help me? Quote under construction I hate People with crappy primered cars rolling on hubcaps that are louder then me. u hate c-fizzy?

Neo_frog Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 Are you using an MLA module or any external regulators? My MLA did this exactly, but pretty much locked at 17+ and I had to remove it.

thebiggmann12 Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 check to see if the power wire melted or rubbed up against something and is causing it to short out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogers Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 check to see if the power wire melted or rubbed up against something and is causing it to short out. that would cause voltage loss ot... sounds like the regulator in the alt is fucked... time for a new stock alt or an upgrade Quote http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/79921-rogers-700-dream-car-update-page-17-a-wall/?p=2335774 93 Saturn SC2My system4 SA-15's Walled 2 Cerwin-Vega S2000's 3 Kinetik Hc2000's Dual 200amp alts. you guys done with the peepee touching contest or do I need to end it?

rubbernutz1 Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 if ur running a stock alternator it sounds like your voltage regulator is going out. same thing happened to me b4. when u 1st start the car up the vlotage is stable but after it all gets good and warmed up it would start spiking to 17-18 volts. u may want to invest in a new alternator maybe upgrade it to a bigger 1 to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C-Fizzy Posted June 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 if you dont mind, how much was the replacement? its either get a new stock, call DC, or go to pick-n-pull LOL Quote under construction I hate People with crappy primered cars rolling on hubcaps that are louder then me. u hate c-fizzy?

Napa is usually high so you might could get it cheaper at AutoZone or Discount or whatnot.
