okay twister: the needles dont get stuck at all


Jr'* 3800: the alternator puts out about 13.9 when tested. when under load it is about 12.9. at the terminals it is about 12 most of time. and when i start the car it never reaches 14.

Lol, you actually believed me

Naw, Im just giving you a hard time. I was thinking it could or reset your system and fixed itself. If you smack the dashboard, does the gauges do anything? Like jump around, etc...
