[QUOTE="mrpep, post: 8384901, member: 661076"] So here's what I have so far and tomorrow at work I plan on busting out the multimeter but for now, theirs a dial in my dash that reads battery voltage and it reads over 14 volts and when I'm driving with music at a low level and then when I turn it up loud , the dial goes below 12 so I can see the draw of current going down. Interesting for sure but still not sure how to trouble shoot until I measure with meter, even then I am not sure what my next step will be and I think we all can see what the results will be.... a definitive drop in voltage. Will this mean the big 3 or a HO alternator or both? Just preparing for what may come. [/QUOTE]
