As I mentioned earlier today my car is finally back on the road, but it
still has a few problems which perplex me. Todays problem for the roadster
knowledge collective is a charging one. I have been struggling wiht the GM
1 wire conversion for a while now. The 1 wire alternator I bought has 2
wires and a post. I ran the red wire to the post then a wire from the post
to the battery via a inline fuse. the white wire I just taped off. Car not
running I read 12.8 volts across the battery on my $15 multiguage. Car
running I read 13.8 across the battery and 16.4 between the large post on
the alternator and the engine block. Sounds good right! Well my amp guage
reads about -2 amps with nothing on and pegs at -30 with my electric fan,
lights and driving lights on. This equates to approximately 45 minutes of
driving time with only the electric fan. What is going on?
Thanks
