| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 97 blazer 4x4 with a little over 113k miles. i've been having problems with the voltage (i think) for a while now. the voltage meter swings from just above 9v to over 14v when i stop at a traffic light. i'm convinced the gauge is not to blame because when i put a load on it, it indicates 9v to 10.5v, the dash lights dim, the headlights wil also dim. i've already replaced (3) altenators and the battery twice which in 4 months and everything is still the same. the gauge will read just above 14v when i'm am driving the truck with no problem but the minute i stop at a traffic light the voltage gauge drops down to 9v or 10.5v depending on what accessories am runnning on my truck. temperature and frequency between trips seems to not make a difference either. the only thing i have done to the truck even remotely connected to the electrical system is to swap the radio, but i used a wire harness to connect the wiring. i've checked and will recheck tonight for loose wires or bad grounds, but other than that i'm lost. any help? *nm |
