dash volt meter and battery light
My volt meter on my dash is very jumpy going from about 10 to 14 and my battery light comes on. The light isn't constant and fades in and out.
So I replaced my alternator and the battery light went away and the volt meter is less jumpy but still occassionally jumps. I only drove it for abou 5km could it need a sort of break in period or recharge period? I looked at the wiring which looked okay. Would the next thing be replacing the battery?
Any recommendations on what I could look at? I have relatively little experience with vehicle electrical issues so any help would be appreciated. Mudding season is starting here and need her running like a beauty
