hmmm,go down by the starter and check the ground,also check it by the coils.
watch your alternator belt for slippage. try to get a reading right from your alternater. pos is the big nut on the top of it. if none of this helps,you need a new alternator. |
Why is 12.5 volts that bad? Sounds pretty normal to me - maybe a little on the low side.
I think you might just have a grounding problem. Try running a second grounding cable to a bolt on the engine or whatever, see if that solves the problem. BTW my volts used to waver at 12-13, and the second ground brought it up to 14 and rock solid. |
