seemed like the wiper circuit caused a fluctuation in the meter between high 13 and low 14s charging volts, how to eliminate the switch from the motor, as the cause, would be next question, any ideas? thanks so much
Could be something as simple as the light inside the glovebox is staying on. Check all outlets inside the vehicle and see if any are still on or sending a signal.
there is nothing i can test, that you would be able to do, in a shop at home?
