Checked the voltage to the battery at idle and showed 16V. I now know why the new Bosch battery I bought only lasted 2 years until it was dry. Where is the voltage regulator located? Seems that is probably the first thing I should replace. Although I do have some random electrical quirks that might be ground related.
Turn signal stays on when key is off if engaged and one of the headlight has been cycling when I turn them off. |
