Voltmeter Always Reads 16V


Recommended Posts

First verify with another voltage meter like a VOM or another gauge. If indeed at 16V, your regulator may be shot and so will the rest of your electrical system be if you run with that voltage for very long. Battery may go up in smoke too. nono.gif

It's a '78 280Z...

 

I checked the voltage at the battery:

 

Switch off, engine off = 12.5V

Switch on, engine off = 12.5V

switch on, engine on = 13.8V

 

This all sounds normal to me. I must conclude that the voltmeter needs adjusting or is malfunctioning.

:D
