Voltage Weirdness 700 1989

posted by  someone claiming to be Robin Roemisch on  Thu May 3 13:24 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Driving home today, I glance down, scanning my gauges, and to my suprise, my voltmeter was all the way to the right into the red! Shocked (not literally), I pulled off the side of the road, popped the hood and looked for any alternator trouble... belts fine, wires fine, no corrosion on the battery, I couldn't find anything the matter. Not wanting to blow anything up, or overcharge the battery, I turned on every accessory I could think of, including full AC, full fan, rear defroster, seat heaters, and headlights, and I got the voltage out of the red, but it was still high. You guys have any suggestions? Regulator maybe? I need to know if this is OK to drive it like this, at least a short distance to my mechanic in the morning.

Thanks alot!
