Hi guys,
Sorry for not responding to you guys sooner, like I say before I don’t have internet access at home so I couldn’t respond to ya, only when I’m at work,
Here’s an update on the charging system issue, look like I finally figured out the charging issue, it took me last Friday and the whole weekend to figured it out.
What happen was the battery terminal on the alternator never received any juice from the battery because the wire was toasted where the male and female plug meet,
Not making any contact, anyway that was fixed and now it seem to be charging. When my car is idling it read slightly over 13 volt and when I rev the RPM up to 5000 RPM it read 14.75 volts, is that over charging? Or it’s normal? I took the car out for a test drive for an hour and when I got back, I check the battery again with the volt meter and it read 12.9 volt with the engine off and I don’t see the battery no sizzling and no spilling and liquid, which is a good sign, right? Or it will take weeks or moth before I see sizzling or spilling liquid?
Ron,
I don’t live too far from you, I’m in LA area very close to Dodger Stadium, and my cars are stored at San Gabriel area. Thanks for offering to fix my car, hopefully I fixed the issue, I’ll keep on monitoring the battery and charging system if it acing up again I might need your expertise. So how was the run?
Steve (Twinight),
Did you left me a voltage regulator? I went to my garage yesterday 02/06/06 and discover a voltage regulator sitting next to the door, brand new. I thought god had answered my prayer and drop me a new voltage regulator, I’ve been good
. Or perhaps my neighbor had left there for me but that can’t be right because he has no clue on what I’m doing, as I drove home with the voltage regulator I remember you (Steve Twinight) offer to loan one for me to test on my car. Is that your voltage regulator, Steve?
If so Thanks dude, I never expected you would do that for me, I still owe you lunch for fixing my car and the voltage regulator, if that is your. Let me know dude
By the way my car is in LA at my home now, that’s why you didn’t see me when you drop off the voltage regulator.
Thank for read my BS.
