Well, if it goes to normal when you hit a bump then your components are likely working correctly and your circuit is having issues. You need to check you circuit board, plugs, connections, wires all one by one and see if you find any in disrepair. Your alt will put out 14 just fine, if when you put on lights and such it drops then your regulator is out of the circuit due to its connection or other malfunciton concerning it. Its sole job is to keep the to voltage at the battery semi constant to cope with heavy draw or lack there of.
Definetly check your circuit board. It could have a corroded run in the regulator circuit. |
