Funky voltage
At work yesterday I turned my jeep on and noticed that the check gauges light is on, and the voltage was dropped all the way down. I tried it a few times when I turned her on goes up to around 12 and then drops. On my drive home, about 30 miles the gauge was down the whole time. All this I have read on many posts and it seems the answer is always the Alternator.
So on the way home I stop in town at NAPA and grab the 90amp alternator they had in stock. When I get back in the jeep and turn it on voltage goes up to 14 like normal and stays. It has stayed like that for multiple starts now. I couldn't find any others saying it went back to normal, any idea what could be going on? is it safe for me to return the alternator and save some money? |
Just replace the alternator. I did that song and dance before and it was the alternator. The brushes are worn out and making poor contact. Sometimes they will work and sometimes they won't.
