Continuing Electrical Problems

[Michael]

Have you checked the ground on the remote voltage regulator? I've had to scrape
paint away from the mounting screws to get a good ground on them. Then make
sure the plug on the regulator and alternator is clean and contact is good. Do
you have a battery isolator in the path anywhere? If so that would determine
where you read your voltage and where you may want your remote regulator sensing
from.

batteries and a trip to Trailercraft to track things down didn't fix the
problem. I found out that the converter/charger was not producing enough
voltage (10.6) and replaced it with a new smart charter. I also bought a
voltage meter which shows current voltage being produced. While driving, the
voltage has been surging from around 12.5 to 13.9 volts, cycling between the
two. As this happens, the tachometer drops, lights pulse. Typical cycle is 5
to 7 seconds. Any ideas for chasing down the problem will be appreciated.
