Delorean alternator output
What's the output of the Delorean alternator susposed to be on the gauge cluster? 13 volts? I noticed on some cars the volt meter going below 13 slightly.

Re: Delorean alternator output
Examples of conditions that will yield less than 13V on the gauge:
- Bad/dirty ground points and/or connectors. - Loose/slipping alternator belt - Alternator going bad - Older and worn radiator fans - A/C on, lights on, radio on, and GPS plugged into the lighter plug.

Re: Delorean alternator output
My friend's Cecil's car when I video taped it back in 08, the volt gauge was just below 13 volts. I'm sure he's fixed it by now. I know that he replaced the alternator with Special T's 110amp replacement. He always carries 2 deep cycle batteries with him.

I'd add check RPM (loose belt, wrong pulley, poor idle, ...) to the growing list. Last edited by Ron; 02-05-2010 at 11:22 PM. |

Re: Delorean alternator output
This was my gauge AFTER my alternator install...
 THIS is my gauge after all grounds clean, plus new fuse box, fuses, and relays...
