The voltage gauge in the dashboard jumps up and down at a rapid rate..between maybe 10 and 16V..doesn't seem to be linked to any particular loading..i checked the voltage at the battery with my Multimeter and it is rock steady at 14.xxV.

With all the other electrical contact issues i've found on this car, i wouldn't be a bit surprised if the dash gauge has a problem, but i would think if the voltage coming out of the regulator was indeed changing that much I would see something at the battery terminal?

I haven't pulled the alternator yet to see exactly what i have (i know i have a stripped bolt on the upper hole) but i was hoping there might be a "quick and dirty" check on the alternator so i could order one if necessary and do a swap if need be. (I've seen some Bosch units with internal regulators listed)

Thanks

EDIT: I have an interesting glitch..everytime I click "Post New Topic" it automatically puts me in the 911 forum..guess this is a sign
