While driving or stopped, whenever I used the blinkers or brakes, the headlights and dash lights would dim momentarily. The ammeter would show a slight discharge but never below center line.
At first I thought the voltage regulator was failing, so I switched-out the original with its solid state counterpart. Now while driving, the headlights and dash lights still dim momentarily but the ammeter shows a discharge below centerline. While stopped, everything remains dim and the ammeter shows a heavy discharge. Is the alternator going out? Or is there something else I'm missing?
