[DML] Re: Electrical question



Get a real voltmeter - the one on the dash is not very accurate. This 
will tell you if you really have a problem. 

Check and clean all the grounds, especially the two up front hear the 
radiator supports. Clean the contacts on all the fuses and relays in 
the electrical compartment. 

Upgrade the alternator. The Autozone/Delco 110A swap is cheap and 
easy, there are other vendor-supplied upgrades if you can't figure 
out the Delco thing. 

When everything is cleaned up, the electrical system is fine. A lot 
of what you see/hear is part of the "22-year-old-car" issue. 

You're right about one thing - don't spend the money on the CD player 
until the car is running right. No point in a CD player installed in 
a car you can't drive. Unless you like sitting in the driveway 
listening to music.
