- 04, VZ SV6
I did try looking for similar posts but couldn't quite find help.
04 VZ SV6.
- Check Alternator on dash intermittently.
While driving the dash lights, radio, gauges and all flicker or turn off for a bit than back on. Coming home before and dash flickered off and all remaining was the park brake light on with a message on dash saying Brake.
I just brought a multimeter and under load it doesn't drop past 12.7 and stays around 14.2 and is within good charging range but if I take off the negative terminal to the battery the car just dies which indicates a bad alternator.
I did notice today everytime I idle the check alternator comes on but accelerate and it turns off.
Also, this has a Mitsubishi 120amp alternator which I'm wondering, is that interchangeable with the standard 100amp alternator that's on other VZ commodores.?
Thank you.
