Ferrariferg Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Ok. So I have a weird one. I've never seen this. My car has no charging problems at idle or around town driving, but if I get on the gas or exceed 55mph then my door ajar light and E-brake light on my cluster come on, as well as the low voltage light and my voltmeter says I'm only getting 11-12 volts. As soon as I let off the gas it goes back to normal. It all happens in an instant. It doesn't gradually drop off. It just goes 14v. BAM! 11-12v. My car is an 83 280zx na. The alternator is about a year old and I've checked all my contacts, terminals, and connections. I'm at a loss. Any help is appreciated.

slown280z Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 The belt might be too loose causing it to slip under higher RPM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrariferg Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 One of my first thoughts. The belt is new and I made sure it was tight. The car doesn't act or sound any different when it happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferrariferg Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 lol. I'm really wanting to at this point. As soon as I fix one problem another one pops up. The day I finish painting my car my window breaks. I fix the window and the same day I have electrical problems. Ugh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
