Re: High voltage

High probability its your alternators voltage regulator. They arent very expensive. It would have been better to post this question in the electrical forum but I think you will get some response. Their are videos on you tube on how to test the voltage regulator & replace too. Hope thats some help.

Re: High voltage

Sorry I'm not an electrical guy, just a little knowledge. Forgot to mention you need to fix the problem immediately as you risk blowing all your electronics & cooking your batteries.
