Electrical problem
1983 Chevy Van V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic
Battery voltage good at 12 v.
Start engine batt voltage 12 at idle. Fuel gauge shows 3/ 4 ,wich is about right. Increase rpm and alternator starts charging 13 + v. and the idiot light comes on red "volts" . At the same time the fuel gauge start going towards "full" and stays full . No fuel added . Turn of engine and turn on the key again and no volts light on and without starting the fuel gauge showes normal 3/4 as it is about 3/4 full.
Start up again, at idle ok but no charge (volt) or fuelgauge normal until increasing rpm again to energise the alternator charge and the same tihng again. Idiot light "volts"- fuelgage going to full !
Please advise. Thanks,
You have the answer , I will donate !
