Key on, the dash lights up normal, the battery light works. Key on, engine on, the battery light goes out, but it’s not charging.
I only noticed on the drive home today once the radio and dash backlight started crapping out. Turned off all electrical and limped home. The charging gauge on the dash was dangerously close to L and I just made it home.
12.8v and slowly decreasing once I charged it up for two hours and ran it.
Am I replacing the regulator, the entire alternator or is this a 20a fuse issue? I can’t quite get my head around the battery light not coming on. That the point of it right? To tell you it’s running off battery? Lol.
