[QUOTE="loopkiller, post: 5861938, member: 601690"] I have a 97 Civic and I have never had this issue. My alt charge voltage is never less than 13.6V without a load. What he is saying is that he thinks the alt would not engage because it would see no load, but the fact is, a discharged battery would be a load. OK, the OP is seeing drops in voltage when he introduces a load, not when one is not present. Therefore, your explanation does not apply. Any load will be sensed throughout the vehicle, unless there was an isolated circuit. [/QUOTE]
