Just drove my GT over 120 miles at one time- back and forth to the Houston Opel meet. Went for an additional long drive tonight with
the lights on. Put the battery charger on to see how my battery was
holding up and it peg on the discharge side. Now I checked my wiring
to the amp gauge. The bulb is good and the wiring is correct, it just
doen't light up when starting. I am showing a slight discharge or no
discharge when running during the day with the radio on. When I run
all of the lights- parking, headlights and fog lights- my horn just
croaks- not enough juice I'm guessing. My battery usually lasts
about a month or two with out having to be recharged. I am starting
to wonder if either my alternator (used) or my voltage regulator
(even more used) are any good. Is there any type of test or
procedure to find out?
