Noticing that the dash battery icon light will 'at times' pulse on-off and also the dash 'gauge' will also slightly pulse towards the + side.
I put a meter on both batteries reading is 13.50 to 14.50 and at times 15 ... the reading is never steady and very irregular > > > but it is always in the + side of charging.
*** just over 3 years ago two new Bosh batteries... maybe one has a bad cell?
*** around 3 years ago I replaced the 70amp alternator (lifetime warranty from Pep Boys) don't laugh, the prior Pep Boys alternator lasted well over 20 years! (possibly failing?)
*** back then when replacing the alternator (and for giggles) I installed a NEW regulator, as soon as I fired the engine the battery light was steady-on. I reinstalled the very old regulator and all was good again, until just recently.
Feedback???
