Question
onebad65c10
Have an 05 Z71 5.3. Replaced my alternator with in the past year do to charging issues and heat build up. With in the past couple of months the battery light has stayed on. Gauge reads about 14 volts at idle. Checked with a multimeter and it shows 13.76 at idle and 13.84 with throttle. Battery is a Optima Yellow top. Checked with our tester at work and after running said to replace battery. Truck has never failed to start even with the 20 degree mornings we've been having. Would the battery voltage being down cause the light to stay on? Possibly indicating a problem. I also checked the 2 wire plug on the alternator and both wires were reading ground, no voltage on either.
Do have an ongoing issue with my bose amp but I believe its a bad amp. The audio takes about 20 minutes of driving to come on, everything else on the radio works until it comes on.
