I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction! Here's the problem with my 332: The battery voltage reads 12.8 key off, not running.
Running, it drops to 12.2 (regardless of engine speed)
I have replaced the VR (I'm on the 2nd brand new VR).
THe white wires from the alt read ~40 volts AC. If I plug them into the VR, it drops to 20 AC.
If I measure the voltage with the red lead removed (the lead on the VR) then the white wires read ~40 volts AC, and the battery terminal reads 23 volts DC! If I plug the red wire onto the terminal, the reading drops to 12.2.
Does anyone have any experience with this? Any ideas?
I'm at a loss.... it seems the alt is good. The battery is good. The VR is good.
There must be a wire shorting somewhere, or something else bad...but I can't figure it out.
Thank you if you can help.
