For the last week I’ve been having huge problems with my electrics. So as of today I have a brand new battery and I got a new alternator from happy240sx last night.
Everything is now installed but my voltage is still low!! Car is running fine though. At idle I’m in the 12.5-7 range. On the cruise 12.2-5 range. And what worries me the most is when I’m between 4000 up in the rpms I’ve seen it as low as 11.7.
I’ve had problems with this before I got a new alt and battery and was told to increase my grounds because the battery is in the back. (i got the car with this done so i’m not 100% sure how it was done)
So here are some pics of what I’ve done but my voltage is still too low for me to be happy.
fallowing 3 are me trying to ground the block better. If they should be in better locations please let me know.
Next 2 are what I’ve done at the battery I even added a second ground to the side post on the battery.
I have made sure to sand down to bare metal on everything i added.
So what else can i do? do i have a short somewhere? other than my batt and alt dying I’ve never noticed any other electrical problems.
My sound system and electric fans will drop the voltage by .1 each when there on which makes the ranges I stated before even lower.
Any help would be great I don’t want to ruin another alternator or battery.
