Hi

I recently noticed that during night time driving, the voltmeter drops steadily almost to the red bar when the auxiliary fan clicks "ON". The reading goes back to the normal (3/4) position when the fan goes off. Alternator upgrade (to 80 amps) has been done a year before. Daytime driving is all normal.

What might have caused this? Some say the culprit are the alternator carbon brass.
