hi guys, my volt meter fluctuates wildly between 12 and off the gauge randomly while driving, it isn't in relation to revs or speed (but usually only happens when driving, not stopped), it just does it randomly, and if i have my lights on, they will go brighter when spiking just like im flashing my high beams. now i understand that this could be the regulator in the alternator? but what i dont understand is why my temp gauge is relative to the volt gauge, when my volts spikes up to 16, my temp will spike to the red bar, and when the volts come down to 12 (or 14 when driving) it will come back to normal operating temp (in the middle somewhere).
my questions are, to begin with, does this sound like the regulator is making my gauge spike up and back down randomly? and secondly, why is my temp gauge relative to the spikes of the volt gauge?
id like to add that this is a vc sle cluster with a 253.
thanks in advance.
cheers
