Ever heard of a termi with voltage issues....
I dont THINK this is the typical issue.
My car pretty much ever since i bought it in the spring has had pulsing dash lights and headlights. The glowing gauges obviously pulse in and out, pretty much all the time.
I never had any other problems until the other night. I was at RSD and had a race set up. I finished my burnout in the water box, then while pulling up to the line, I noticed my Battery light was on. Moments later it was off.
I continued with the race, but when i hit fourth the car started bucking and breaking up pretty badly. I would have said bad plugs, but i immediately guessed voltage was dropping. I do not have any logging information, I am just guessing at this point.
Jump to last night. The car runs well, but the lights pulse pretty bad. I am sure people can tell when looking at my headlights.
Battery voltage car off: 12.4
Battery voltage with all accessories on, car off after 5 minutes: 11.2
Volatge at battery terminals with car on, but cold: 14.5
Voltage at battery terminals with all accessories AND car engine is boiling hot: 14.1
Thoughts?
