Recently I've noticed the alternator warning light on my car has been brighter than normal when I switch the ignition on. It goes out and stays out when the engine's running.
And there's a tendency to idle very low, also the panel lights get dim when this happens.
With the engine running and the headlights on, the voltage at the battery is
16.35V, and the voltage between alternator + and battery -ve is 16.75V.I am sure the bright alternator warning light means something... Is it the voltage regulator or something like that?
