94 4.0 auto full gauges.
Today while driving it was hot and cloudy. So I flipped on the lights and AC. And watched the guage drop from 13ish to 10- just outside the red. Yikes.
Pulled into the local auto parts place for a batt check. Registered at 5 volts and 0 CCA. It was a cheep Walmart battery the po put it there years ago. Replaced batt.
Rechecked battery still falling when loaded. My initial thought was alt. So I put a new one in. Still problematic.
The biggest drop is when the AC is turned on. But a noticeable drop when lights are turned on.
It use to run a solid 14 all lights on AC max radio in. Now it will barely maintain 10 with just headlights and AC.
All stock components, 1 year old ac comp. Stock head lights with relay mod. New alt is a 90 it's all they had in stock. I'm not at home. I'm out on the road.
No starting problems. Hit the key and go.
Help. I'm beginning to think the 23 year old cables are failing or I've got a major ground problem somewhere.
