Hey all.
For several days, spaced over a couple weeks, I've been cleaning grounds and tightening cables trying to figure out why my gauge on my 94 Sport is reading 18+ volts.
Today I drove it up to Advance and had them put the meter on it.
We checked it off, checked it running, with no accessories, and with AC on max/high, high beams on.
It read 14.59 running under no load, and 14.3 with everything on. So I have two questions.
One, is any part of the Jeep actually getting 18v? i.e. is it possible the gauge is reading 18v and the PCM is reducing it before it gets to the battery?
Two, any proposed fixes such as cleaning contacts, checking grounds or anything?
Any ideas are appreciated. :repair:
Also, here is a pic of my gauges with the Heep NOT RUNNING, key removed.
Notice the temp and oil pressure are not at 0...
