Warning lights on while running and do not go out

   / Warning lights on while running and do not go out #11  
I would pull the alternator off and have it tested. You should have a higher reading than just battery voltage when checked at the alternator with the engine running.

Second set of readings 9.24

Probed battery with meter 12.8 volts. Probed battery when running 12.55 volts.

Probed alternator while running 12.55 volts.

Still unsure as to what it means. Do I have a bad alternator or should I be looking for a short?

Thanks,

It means your alternator is not charging. Read Post #7.

Dear TBN's

Success.

Checked wiring at dash and guages, rebuilt grommets that keep dash from vibrating, secured wiring from vibrating at connections near alternator. Bought & installed new alternator. Put everything back with no leftover parts. Started it up - battery charging at 14.2 - just in time for grandchildren's hayride.

Thanks again.
