Battery indicator brightens
Recently I notice my battery light on dash brightens as I turn on lights, wipers, or apply brakes. Recently replaced relay but is this more voltage regulator specific?
Knowing electrical issues are difficult trying to determine troubleshooting steps. Greg G93af@aol.com |

Is your car an early or late car? Not necessarily voltage regulator specific, could be that the whole system is in need of a cleaning (grounds/terminals). Could be a failing battery, failing alternator as well.

Diode going south in your alternator.

I have an extra Kaehler Voltage Regulator that I used to diagnose my alternator troubles (headlight dimming). Used for about 30 minutes. It solved my problem and is easy to install. $5.00 + shipping (Priority Mail 2-3 Days is $5.95) and it's yours. Let me know before it goes on Pelican and/or eBay.

Thanks to all who replied. My vehicle is Euro spec 1984. Vehicle sits a lot due to lots of travel. Will pull records to see when/if alternator was ever changed.
Currently 318000 miles on odometer. Recent servicing had voltage regulator changed. |
