Thread: Bad voltage regulator?

Battery about 8 months old, alternator about 6 months old. Battery is not being charged properly, trouble with it last two weeks, having to jump start it now.

Could it be the voltage regulator?

I would start by cleaning and checking all the wiring to the battery and alternator. Just don’t look at it, actually take them off and clean with a wire bush. I would start with the fender well ground, it is a POS on all GPs. Take the battery out, and then you can see the ground clearly. Same thing, unbolt it and clean it up.

Also, I have to ask. Do you have anything “extra” hooked up directly to the battery? Like HID headlights or an amp?

Okay, thanks. I do not have anything extra hooked up. Gonna go down to my local AUTOZONE and have them check it out for me.
