I HAVE A 93 DEISEL DODGE AND SOMEHOW GOT A SHORT
IN THE ELECTRICAL , PROBABLY FROM MY CAMPER.
ANYWAY THE VOLTAGE REGULATOR IS IN THE COMPUTER
AND I'M NOT SURE BUT IT SEEMS TO HAVE RECTIFIED
ITSELF AND I'M WONDERING IF IT IS POSSIBLE FOR A
COMPUTER TO FIX ITSELF. IT SEEMED TO CAUSE THE
OIL PRESSURE GAUGE AND WATER TEMP. TO RUN HIGH AND
THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT TO FLASH ABOUT EVERY FIVE
MINUTES. EVERY ONCE AND A WHILE THE CHECK ENGINE
LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN GOES OFF AGAIN .....
THIS ALL LASTED ABOUT A WEEK BUT THEN TODAY EVERY-
THING SEEMS TO BE BACK TO NORMAL. IS THIS
POSSIBLE?????????????
THE ELECTRICAL SHOP SAID THAT THE OUTPUT AT IDLE
WAS 14.75 AND UP TO 15.67 AS THE IDLE ROSE BUT
WHEN THE LIGHTS WERE TURNED ON THE VOLTAGE ROSE
TO WELL OVER 16.5 VOLTS
CAN ANYONE HELP WITH MY PROBLEM???
ANOTHER COMPUTER IS ABOUT $750.00
SOMEONE ALSO SUGGESTED INSTALLING AN EXTERNAL
VOLTAGE REG BUT DIDN'T TELL ME EXACTALLY HOW THIS
IS ACCOMPLISHED AND STILL USE THE OLD COMPUTER
FOR THE REST OF THE TRUCK FUNCTIONS......
