Hello, so here is the problem. All of a sudden my entire digital dash goes off & on. When it comes back on it is resetting and all stored data is lost. It can stay off for as little as a couple seconds up to an hour.
I noticed that when it comes back on the Volt gauge has a red warning light and is reading between 16 to 18 volts. Silly me, I think its the voltage regulator so I run out and replace the alternator. Needless to say, that didn't work. After that I have the brainstorm that maybe I should check the voltage at the battery. The volt guage is showing 18 volts but when I put a meter on the battery, it is showing the normal 13 volts (yes, I had the car running).
So, if anybody has any idea's, I'd be glad to listen.
Thanks, Craig
