I set my multi-meter on “50 volts” and pulled the wires that go to the temp gauge and the fuel gauge off (LGG) and tested the output of the regulator at the regulator terminal itself. When I turned the key to the “on” position, the meter shot up to 12 volts, then after about 10-15 seconds, it started settling back closer to 10 volts. Once it did that, however, it began pulsating anywhere from 8 to 12 volts. The pulsations were in an erratic fashion and not at all steady. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Having never taken a reading off of one of these regulators before, I have no idea how to interpret what I saw. Can anyone guide me on this? Should I be looking for a replacement instrument voltage stabilizer or is this what happens during their normal functioning?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks much,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Andy Walker<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Edmond, OK<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
