hgeranium Posted yesterday at 03:46 PM Share Posted yesterday at 03:46 PM I’m pretty sure this is a common thing but was just wondering if there were any possible fixes. With a multimeter, I’m getting 14.3 V at idle with no accessories and with AC and lights on, it’s at 14.1. While the gauge reads ~13.8v and ~12v respectively. It’s just annoying never being able to trust it, especially if my alternator were to start going out, which has happened before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglescout526 Posted yesterday at 05:52 PM Share Posted yesterday at 05:52 PM Usually is a bad ground and power wires. I cleaned the hell out of all of mine and I get accurate reading at my voltage gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like that should’ve been the first thing I checked lol. The fix seems simple enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
