Re: electrical
If the lights brighten, the voltage is indeed going up. But if the
battery is porperly hooked up and working ok, it will put a ceiling on
the voltage. Of course all the extra power will go into overcharging the
battery which will shortly fry it completely.
So your choices are:
-bad gauge (but the lights brighten so probably not)
-bad regulator (but you said you had it checked or did you just get the
output current checked but not the interal regualtor?)
-Bad battery (supposed to be new)
-Bad cables to the battery (you supposedly checked those?)
I'd be quite reluctant to drive this without getting it fixed, you stand
a good chance of wiping out your battery in a fairly spectacular fashion.

Re: electrical
You need to get that looked at.
Unfortunately I 'think' the regulator is part of the $3000.00 computer
instead of a relatively cheap fix like inside the alternator.
They figured out a great new way to screw folks with that BS.
$3K for a set of diodes worth less than $5.00.

If you spent less time talking out your ***, and a little more time doing
research, I'm sure even you could figure out that the diodes are still in the
alternators, computers cost more like $300 than $3000, AND they're WAY more
reliable.
Don't panic just because you don't understand it.
Did you take your pills today?

Re: electrical
And what did you contribute to this thread girlie boy, whom doesn't
have the ***** to use a return address. Maybe you could have suggested
the unitized regulator needed to be replace, as the flashing headlights
indicated.
