Alternator Help Please!!
I tried to go out last night and when I started the car all the warning lights came on and stayed on. First thing I did was shut it off and then search the forum for this problem. From what I can find it looks like time to rebuild the alternator. I have 12.5v at the battery with the car shut off and 18.5v with the car running!! All the threads I could find talk about low voltage from the alternator I have never heard of over charging as a symptom of a bad alternator. It is making a noise that it didn't before and I just replaced the airpump about 1 week ago. Anyone have this problem before?

I haven't driven it since saturday. It looks like it is going to cost about $190 to get it rebuilt, OUCH!! What they say about everything being expensive in Hawaii is true.
