Following Problem on my 68 Poncho.. I know it´s not a Mopar but I figure that the way our electric circuits work are kinda equal, so I hope some experts might help
Two weeks ago my generator warning light turned on.
So I measured the voltage at the battery -> ignition off -> 12,8V -> battery good..
Thereafter engine on, transmission P, automatic choke increased the rpm (don´t have a rpm gauge so I don´t know the value) -> voltage increased slowly to 14,1V max -> turned choke off -> rpm back to idle -> voltage decreased to 13,8V -> good , alternator is working and charging the battery....
thereafter, trans still in P -> gaspedal halfway down -> 15,1V -> not so good -> gaspedal 3/4 down -> 17,4V -> not good at all ..
I figured the voltage regulator to be the bad guy and ordered a new one.
Today I installed it, measured the voltage the same way I did before and it was all fine, max value was 14,5V.
But then I wanted to go for a ride and as soon as the trans was in D and I had the Gaspedal halfway down, the warninglight came rght back on accompanied by a not very loud but very audible humming from somewhere underneath the dasharea. As soon I went off the pedal the humming disapeared and the light turned off. I had no time to find the origin of that noise, but that´s new.
Any ideas what the new poblem might be or what´s the best way to figure it out is higly appreciated
