Your vote meter is wrong. If it's an amp meter the battery needs to
be charged or replaced. God Bless America, ßill O|||||||O http://www.billhughes.com/ curbrider wrote: > > 91 JEEP CHEROKEE REPLACED ALTERNATOR AND NOW IT OVER CHARGES THE VOLT METER > IS AT 18 BATTERY DOES'NT GET HOT I CHECKED WIRES FOR CUTS ANY HELP WELCOME > THANKS |

Does the new alternator have a built-in voltage regulator? Some don't
since some regulators are mounted externally and not part of the alternator itself. It kind of sounds like there is no voltage regulator present. curbrider wrote: > 91 JEEP CHEROKEE REPLACED ALTERNATOR AND NOW IT OVER CHARGES THE VOLT METER > IS AT 18 BATTERY DOES'NT GET HOT I CHECKED WIRES FOR CUTS ANY HELP WELCOME > THANKS > -- Jerry Bransford PP-ASEL N6TAY See the Geezer Jeep at http://members.cox.net/jerrypb/ |

As Bill has suggested check both the voltage and amps with a good known
meter if all is well with the external meters replace the ones in the dash or get an external set. Your 91 has an external voltage regulator according to my manual if your system is over charging replace it. The key here is that the battery is not getting hot so more than likely it is the gauges as Bill has said. -- Coasty SEMPER PARATUS (ALWAYS READY) Remove The SPOOGE To Reply "curbrider" > wrote in message lkaboutautos.com... > 91 JEEP CHEROKEE REPLACED ALTERNATOR AND NOW IT OVER CHARGES THE VOLT > METER > IS AT 18 BATTERY DOES'NT GET HOT I CHECKED WIRES FOR CUTS ANY HELP WELCOME > THANKS > |
