  1. 1 week old autozone alt tested bad while on the tester for about half a second. Waiting on yet another to come.
  2. While at a stop light I revved the car a little to see what would happen with the volts. ~2k rpm. My volt gauge went above 16v. wt..... From then on if the RPMs were above 2k, the gauge would peg to the top and every light in the car including headlights were as bright as I have ever seen them. I had to have headlights on, blower motor on high, and the radio on to help regulate it back down and not damage anything. I need to reproduce the issue tomorrow morning with a volt meter on the battery to verify its 16+v. Then its either the regulator in the alt or the signal wire. I am assuming its the alt as if its the signal wire then why the ~11.8-12v at idle when hot.
  3. Car was fine 2 years after a restore. I would notice the volt meter would bounce a lot but not too bad. (Clock light would flicker). Come recently my car stopped dead due to a dead battery. I replaced the alternator with a remanned one from autozone even though it tested okay. The bearings sounded kind of rough though. The battery tested okay as well. I also cleaned the negative battery cable grounds to the body and engine. I took apart the fusible links connector to sand each prong. I sanded as best I could the fusible link connectors themselves. I also cleaned the main black fusible link and the associated other connectors that lead to the positive terminal there. With these changes I do not see the meter bounce around anywhere near as much a sbefore and the clock light only flickers when the turn signals are on. At idle while cold the car reads ~13.7v. When driving home today I noticed that the gauge would read ~12v at times particularly while at idle. This is with headlights on. I got nervous a couple of times seeing the needle go below 12 (half) with the turn signals on but I knew that was a common thing. When I got home I did a load test. Headlights, stereo, and blower motor on high. I took a volt meter to the battery itself and it read 12.07v. Is it really normal to have ~12v with everything electrical on or do I still have a charging problem? Thanks.
  4. Thanks It was the first real website I have done. I am a programmer by trade though so that foundational knowledge helped me to get up to speed. Glad you like it.

  7. Pull the turn signal lever towards you (passing signal), do the headlights go up?
  8. Nope, I have the last one. You all have Chinese knock offs. The last of Chinese knock offs though if it makes you feel any better.
  9. Still looking. Had no responses on my leads. Also interested in the computer behind the HVAC controls as well as the hardware and bezel around the controls.Thanks.
  10. LOL so true. Guy at work had to stop and think for a minute if he drove a charger or not.
  11. Actually I am just going to purchase the gauges again. The more I thought about it, the more stupid I felt as I am trying to diagnose an issue without the proper tools. I'll report back after it arrives and I have some readings.
  12. That's the issue. The equipment for this is back in Ohio. Myself and the car is in Iowa. I could repurchase the equipment. I was hoping to be able to make a few assumptions without them. However I understand that only goes so far.
  13. Thanks for all the feedback and compliments guys!
