Family,
With the wipers on full, the radio cuts out and comes back on, then cuts out (I am assuming when the motor needs more "load" it sucks the power from the radio). Am I overloading the Alternator??? I have a very small (1985) Blaukpunkt (sp) radio that ain't no boomer. This can also happen at night when I switch to my high beamers. Comments/solutions anyone? T |

what about the voltage regulator? What kind of guage readings do you see?
-------------------- -Scott That was my next question. With lights on I am about 11 1/2. During the day I am about 12 1/2. Could that also be the culprit? T |
