Hey guys & gals. Got a Q about my 88 MJ, 4.0, AW4, 4x4
My dash volt meter reads low...like 10 or 11V when running with no lights on or accessories turned on. When I turn on an accessory it blips just a hair, when I have the light on and an accessory (lights, fan, etc.) it rides right about the same spot.
After running on the highway for awhile it seems to recover and rides just below straight up.
When I check it at the battery with my DMM it reads 14.2 or so, idling. When off it reads 12.5 or so.
All of my accessories (fog lights, driving lights, camper lighting) are wired with relays powered through one 40A fuse. When I pull the main fuse for the relays the dash meter reads just as it does with it in.
All grounds are recently re-refreshed, C101 is cleaned, greased and tight. Fuse block is cleaned up and tidy. Where does the dash meter get it's information. Do you think it's just a funky gauge...or ??
