Now here's a question that I should be able to answer with my background but I like to hear what other folks have to say: Today when I started my car for the drive home from reserve duty I observed that the voltmeter now reads just below 13V instead of just above. I've lost maybe 1 volt. The discharge light remains -completely- dark. It does light as it should when putting the key to "run" with the engine off so the bulb is not burned out. All loads (lights, fans, etc) draw the same amount as they did before, it's just as if the "range" has shifted on the meter. I had this alternator rebuilt around a year ago. Is it dying already or is there a ground somewhere dorking up the gauge?
