JC, You definitely want to check the chassis-to-engine and battery-to-engine cable. I had the exact same problem until I found out that the chassis-to-engine (back of engine, on the firewall) cable had corroded providing a very bad ground. Bear in mind that the grounding on Mavericks is from the Negative battery cable, to the engine block, then from the engine block to the chassis. The rubber mounts on the engine don't do anything to help ground the engine to the chassis.
Good luck and let us know how it turns out!
Regards,
Tracy
I've checked/changed jut about everything, but....there is a short or something. When I hit bumps my voltage gauge jumps all over the place and some times the Alternator light comes on. I am absolutly puzzled. It's hard to catch with a test light because you have to be hitting bumps. I've beat on the steering column to see if its in there but it seems that it isn't there. I removed all kinds of stuff like my radio electric fan and it still does it. I have a new alternator Bat. and cables voltage regulator starter....I even made all new connections for the voltage regulator. I was hoping that myabe someone had the same problem. I'm thinking it could be something under the dash.....Oh yea...on two occations I was driving at night and the head lights went out...but not the parking lights....any thoughts or definative soloutions would be greatly appreciated. Later, JC
