StealthSS Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 I havent finished doing my checks to back it up, but Im thinking that yours and AspenTaylor's problems might be the same thing...and I would be having the dealer check pcm and bcm...Something seems randomly to effect the charge rate. At times my gauge reads 14.2, and others it reads close to 12. I usually run with the air on all the time, and it does it whether e-fans and headlights are on or off. Once I get a look at a factory wiring diagram, I would have a better idea of what the problem relates to... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a one wire alternator? Is it a "self exciting" alternator that you bought to replace the defective one? It sounds by your description that it doesn't charge AT IDLE. Does it charge when the revs come up? Did you check the wire to the PCM you talk about with an ohm meter for continuity, or did you do a "visual" check, or...?
