Re: Battery light on, EDU = 12.4 V, VR problem ?? Posted by Kevin M [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Battery light on, EDU = 12.4 V, VR problem ??, ((jj)), Tue, 22 Jul 2008 17:07:04 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
JJ,
Put a volt meter directly on the battery post. Take a read- should be somewhere around 13.2v - 14.2v that latter for a deeply discharged battery.
Should you have access to a clamp-on amp meter, take a reading with the car running at about 2k. You should be seeing 80+ amps on a discharged battery and 6-10 depending on accessories. No amps or low volts, bad VR.
The battery idiot light indicates a discharging state. You probably need a VR pack- not a difficult job but getting the alternator our is a pain.
Don't forget to disconnect the battery before starting the repair.
Good luck,
K
