alternator regulator question 700

posted by  someone claiming to be faze on  Thu Jan 27 18:46 CST 2005 [RELATED]

My charging system is bouncing between 11.8 volts and 14.4. The 11.8 times have been getting longer thruout the day. I've taken the reading at the positive side of the alternator.

Would a bad regulator cause this...I'm not sure because I thought when they went I'd have high spiking voltage, not dropping voltage.

If it is the voltage regulator...is there any soldering involved or just swap a new one in?

thx
