Thread: Alternator/regulator question

Man, i know i get some fluctaition but 12.8 is the lowest mine has ever gone, no battery mode saver message. If you battery is dipping below the 12.5 that is def on just bat at that point and would lead me to believe something with the alt. And im charging not just one batt but three. NO issues. If the load test doesnt show the issue maybe your alt sensewire is f'd up and throwing off the reading. Did you mess with the clamp near the batt at all? Run any wire Through it?

The positive wire that's on the alt...I took it off and made sure it was spotless...and the wires from the wire harness I took off and also made sure the connectors were good. Which salt sensewire are u referring to?

On the battery I took both the positive and negative off and used a wire brush on em to make sure they were nice and clean. I put some anti corrosion stuff on them as well so the connections are good
