I agree alternator can be changed easily if the entire thing is bad , usually only 3 or 4 bolt and easy to change . but the brain of a car is something that might cost more than the car is worth in some cases to repairDont even drive it right now..Park it,take the alt off, and take it, and get it tested,usually FREE.But The Regulator is bad for sure,dont take a chance driving around anymore than you have too.PARK IT!
Try a couple Grand ,and possibly having a battery Blow up Under the Hood with Battery Acid everywhere.That would be a MoFo to Clean up as well.ive had several cars, and only two have done that to me,and have been lucky..others would drain the batt over nightI agree alternator can be changed easily if the entire thing is bad , usually only 3 or 4 bolt and easy to change . but the brain of a car is something that might cost more than the car is worth in some cases to repair
yep something so small can total a car is stupid , but it can happenTry a couple Grand ,and possibly having a battery Blow up Under the Hood with Battery Acid everywhere.That would be a MoFo to Clean up as well.ive had several cars, and only two have done that to me,and have been lucky..others would drain the batt over night
Ah the regulator is in the alternator?I had an alternator do that once..I had to turn everything electrical on I could to keep the voltage down..Its the Internal Regulator in the alternator.Its bad..you need to replace it before you burn up the electrical,in the vehicle/wires/brain/ect!
So I found that the voltmeter reads the same on other cars too, it's broken so now I have no clue loltake the battery to autozone and get it tested
Could a bad battery make the amp go into protect?if you take the battery to an auto parts store can test the battery more than a voltmeter can

Yeah, one at a time though haha, just askin cause I know the battery is bad, I drained it allot with my old sub.it could be so many things . but until you start to narrow it down who knows . we can sit here and ask question about what could be wrong . i think if you take off your battery and alternator that is a good start and have them tested at a auto parts store
