Why is my 1984 Corvette alternator charging constant 16.3 volts?

The system shouldn't exceed 15 volts. If the battery tests out okay and you are mechanically inclined, you can replace just the voltage regulator inside the original 1984 alternator. A replacement regulator should cost aprox $30.

Your car should produce about 14.4 volts from the alternator when the engine is running. If it does not produce anything over 12 volts, your alternator is not charging and you need to get it repaired or replaced.
Why is your 1985 Corvette voltage light on?
check charging system voltage it should have 13.8 ---14.3 volts it alsocould be a bad diode in your alternator most times a new alt does the trick
Your 86 corvette Corvette sHow is 11.8 volts when key is turned on the battery is fully charged at 13.5 volts when you start the car it stays at 11.8 or lower what could be the problem?
alternator is bad........ my best guess.... or your battery is surface charging and cant take a load....... go to an autoparts store like advance or autozone n have them check the charging system and battery. -Jarrid-
Why would the generator light come on in a 1979 corvette when the volt meter indicates charging at fourteen volts or higher?
Check pigtail connection at alternator (possible loose), or voltage regulator going out in alternator, take to autozone or other and have tested, replace.
How do you know if the alternator is not charging?
Check the voltage at the battery with the engine running. It should read from 13.5 volts to 16 volts. If it reads lower than 13.5 volts the alternator is defective.

If the alternator is not producing 13.5 to 15.5 volts it is defective and needs replacing.
Is a car 12 volt battery ac or dc?
The CURRENT is actually AC coming Directly from the Alternator. A voltage regulator/converter then takes it to DC. For all practical purposes, a typical automobile operates on 12Vdc. The Alternator actutally puts out about 14 Volts to allow for constant charging of the battery.
How do you test the alternator on a 1973 VW Beetle?
Start the car and rev it to at least 1500RPMs. Use a voltmeter to test the voltage across the two battery terminals (under the back seat). If it tests out at around 13.8-14.5 volts the alternator is working. If it tests out at 12.6 volts or below the alternator isn't charging. If it tests out above 14.5 volts the alternator is charging, but the voltage regulator isn't working correctly.
What is the stock alternator voltage on a 1996 Cherokee Sport?
