DO NEED A BIGGER ALTERNATOR
Posted: Sun Jan 23, 2005 7:21 pm
Hi All..Some advice. Recently had my rangie checked my auto lecky regarding wiring etc and to see if the alternator was charging correctly..All is fine and the beast goes well,
HOWEVER
The other night I was driving home and noticed the blinkers wouldn't work while stopped at the lights.....I did a few experiments.
When I increased revs they began and at speed they work as normal. When I turn off my AC and my lights at idle they blink fine...
My voltmeter drops ALOT when both AC and lights are on. So obviously have too much draw???????
Any advice or just replace the 85AMP with a 120 AMP job???
Thank in advance for your response..
