Here's the story...
Help and I will make the trail ride this weekend and take lots of pictures.
Can't help and I might just get stuck at home and shoot my Bronco!
;D
This started with flashing lights---
-I tried two spare headlight swiches I had. No change.
-I tried my old voltage regulator and it did the same thing as the new Napa Mechanical regulator.
-Add a ground strap from the neg. battery terminal to body - Nada change.
This is what is happening--
Voltage is fluctuating between 13-14 volts and idle seems irratic (this seems new)
At idle lights are sound, but as I get on the gas, they start to flicker.
I'm hoping someone knows what is going on before I have to pull it all and drag it in to Napa to check both ALT and VR.
HELP! I've I miss our yearly offroad trip another year, I might do something crazy! AGHHH!
P.S. For HotWheels and whoever else---
I did have an electronic regulator on in the past. It worked up until just recently. When I pulled the cover to see if I could adjust it, I found out it was fried on one solder. When I went and got another one, it was way overcharging. Do I just throw the dice and see if the next one is within spec?
