Why is your 2007 grand prix overcharging your battery?

Voltage regulator is more than likely defective. The Regulator is built into the alternator so you will have to replace the entire alternator. Just make sure it is really overcharging. You should read from 13.5 to around 15.5 volts with a digital DC voltmeter if the alternator is performing as it should. Must more than 15.5 volts and it is overcharging.

Why is your 2000 Honda accord v6 charging 18volts?

The most likely cause is the voltage regulator in the alternator. Modern vehicle voltage regulators aren't serviced separately, so you would just replace the alternator. That much voltage can boil the battery. Typical alternator output should be around 14.5 volts.

How can you test the computer on a 1992 Geo Tracker?

Usually the problem with this computer is that the capacitors leak inside the computer causing the traces around them to erode causing no signal to the fuel injector. To test, dump a small amount of fuel down the carburetor. If it fires, then you will need a new computer or you can have it repaired.


1995 grand am gt keeps blowing pcm fuse changed neutral safety switch was fine for 5 months now doing the same thing any body ever had the same problem?

I had the same problem! I found out it was from moisture and corrosion getting into the fuse box under the hood. I was causing thinside box to blow fuses! I put a thin piece of plastic covered rubber foam over box under the hood to seal it and never had the problem again! One other problem I had with the same car was water around the tail lights causing the fuse to blow! Check the seals around the covers!

Does alt. light stay on after car is shut off? If so could be voltage regulator is defective and overcharging battery when running Does light stay on after car is shut off?
