All,
Working on the TR and am puzzled. When I first start her up, voltmeter reads high, ~17 volts and external meter confirms reading. After I drive for a while, sometimes 15 minutes, sometime never, the voltage will drop to normal around 13.5. The overcharge seems like a regulator but a solid state unit usually does not "fix" itself. Any ideas on where to start?
