Hi guys,
My little old 98 civic is having a bad day.
The speedo Was flapping like a bird. Sometimes (especially at a stop) it generally tracks with the tac, but driving up the road it’s either flying around or dead.
I tried loading the alternator by running with high beams on, didn’t seem to make difference.I put volt meter across the batt terminals, just the instant the engine climbs from idle it drops from 14.1ish. To 13.6ish
The beep for leaving keys in ignition or headlights on without key isn’t functioning.
Keeps blowing fuse 15 in cabin which is listed as “alternator, SP sensor”
The CEL doesn’t remember it was tripped once the car is off for 10 seconds. Once it runs for 5-10 seconds the light comes back on. At idle the CEL is lit and pulsing between on and bright on.
At highway speed it’s just on.Both code readers pep boys had said No codes now or in memory.
My gut tells me voltage regulator is going even though the volt meter shows it holding at 14.1ish even when I mess with the throttle.
What do you guys think?
