I noticed recently that when I'm sitting at idle, that the readout on the center consoles voltage meeter drops from 12ish to 10ish. Of course I'm on the brakes which pulls some juice to work the tail lights, but I've also noticed that if I rev the engine while sitting still the voltage goes back up to 12ish. Should this be a concern? Does it point to an alternator on the way out? Do I have a fun weekend project ahead of me? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) |
