Nslugger44 Posted October 2, 2010 Report Posted October 2, 2010 Hey guys i have a question. When i turned my car on today my brake light came on along with the battery light. I put a DMM on the battery at rest and it was reading normal around 13, but when i started the car up the voltage started to climb and it was surging past 18v so i shut it down. Is it time for a new alt? (2)12" Rockford Fosgate P3's (1)AudioQue 1200D (1)AudioQue 4x90 6.5" Infinity Kappa Components (2)6" Elemental Design e3.6's 6x9 Infinity Kappa Coax JVC Arsenal H/U
AA98hoe Posted October 2, 2010 Report Posted October 2, 2010 wow thats not good. were you checkn it with dmm when it did that? or just going off of dash gauge? the brake light coming on at the same time is weird almost sounds like a dash short and gauges are acting up. but if you got 18v with the dmm then the voltage regulator sounds like its bad TEAM DC AUDIO VEHICLE:98 chevy tahoe 2wd 3-4 drop HEADUNIT:alpine 9886 PREAMP:arcaudio FRONT STAGE:4-6 1/2s selinium,DD component set and 4-selinium tweeters in each door KICKPANELS:jl audio 5 1/4 REAR DOORS: dd components 6 1/2s HIGHS AMPS:zapco 750.2 on front doors,zapco an another 750.2 on kicks and rear doors SUBS:4-ascendant audio 18s with 5 spiders in a custom box built by KINGSUV SUB AMP: 2-dc7.5s ALTERNATORS: 3-mechmans 1- 425comp, 1-smd spec350, 1-270 with adj voltage harness on custom dc bracket WIRE:10-runs 0g front to back BATTERIES:6-d1400s TL results:157.1 at 38hz and 156.8 at headrest score @37hz.

techforce Posted October 2, 2010 Report Posted October 2, 2010 Sounds like Voltage regulator went bad. .
EclipseChris Posted October 2, 2010 Report Posted October 2, 2010 Something is miserably wrong. Something may have shorted somewhere. Is everything stock or what? i resolve to be a nicer moderator. Tercel build R.I.P. Eclipse build Old New V-Dub My feedback.
Nslugger44 Posted October 3, 2010 Author Report Posted October 3, 2010 Hey sorry for not getting back soon enough, nut everything was tested on DMM, and the alt was stock. I took it to a shop and they said it was the regulator. So now its time for a new alternator.
