When I turn my turn signal on the lights on the dash blink with the turn signal. I noticed that the gauge was reading under 12 volts, so I changed the Alt. Now it is reading a little over 12 v but the lights are still blinking. The car is a '85 gs. Is there a external voltage regulator that I don't know about?

That is just how our cars are. I think if you run a S4 or S5 alternator it will cure it, but dont quote me on that :P

well, Im not sure that thats just how our cars are. Neither of my sevens did it that bad. Check your ground wires. Clean them real good and where they mount, maybe even add some wires or use a thicker gauge on the existing wires.

None of my other cars did it either. I put a S4 Tll Alt on and it's doing the same thing.

weak battery? Corroded wires?

Optima red top battery, wires good.

check the grounds, just cause the wires at the battery are good dont mean jack about the 25 year old wires that ground to the body/chassis. If you dont believe. Just take one of those old wires and cut away some of the shielding and take a look at the bare wires, not so copper anymore. add that to the fact that theres all the road spray and engine garbage that has gotten onto and between the ground connecter and the body/chassis that it bolts to. IF you have weak electrical, thats the place to start on old cars. (and that is meant to end with a period imho.)

when I beefed up the grounds and went with a 105 amp alternator that stupid blinky **** went away... don't know which one or itf both together cured it but thats what I did
