Battery light

If battery voltage is not going up while running to 13.8-14.6 I would suspect a bad internal VR which costs about $50. Pretty easy R/R but make sure you disconnect power since the Alternator is a tight fit.

Also check your accesory belt in good condition..? Otherise could be slipping

Thanks, I’ll try the VR first. Just took off the cover and the belt looks to be in pretty good shape. I know the removal of the alternator is probably going to be a challenge but hopefully the new regulator will do the trick.

Ordered and already delivered. It was too cool to pass up! But wondering where attached the two leads?? I’m guessing somewhere right in the fuse box.

Yup!! $36 fix. It was indeed the Voltage Regulator. Thanks so much!
