Okay, been having a charging problem for awhile now. Started replacing and checking over everything. So far I've replaced the voltage regulator, relay board and now finally replaced the alternator and harness. Guess what??? No freaking charge to the battery.

Well, for some reason my charging system is functional. I had Scott drive it today to listen to the knocking noise I was hearing (not a rod thankfully). Light is on as usual and we return to his house. I get in it to drive it up on the trailer and guess what??? Light is out. I pulled the vr to see if the idle changed and sure enough it goes up. Put it back in and idle goes down. Hhmm, we have a charging system. I trailer it home, start it up (no light) and pull it into the driveway. Left it running and got my volt meter. 14 volts at the battery. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif) Took it out and drove around for awhile and everything is working.
I HATE problems that go away by themselves... They usually come back at the most inconvenient time.... |
