[QUOTE="Raven, post: 1035481, member: 558368"] Ok, this is a reoccuring problem in my car. Every time I step on the gas, the low voltage battery light comes on. When this first started happening I tested it. With lights one, all accessories on, stereo on very high volume (20hz sine), and in gear, my charging system kept 14.5 volts. So I know I'm not experiencing voltage drops. Yesterday after a little testing I've come to the conclusion that the big 3 has bypassed the idiot light voltage sensor. The change in volts/amps going from idle to on the gas is enough to make almost all the current avoid the corroded stock wire and the sensor attached. Since my stock distribution block has been upgraded as well, I know there's no ill effect. My questions is, knowing it's not doing any harm, would you fix it? [/QUOTE]
