Hi all... I'm after some ideas... The symptoms are as follows:
TS 4cyl EFI - When the engine is warm, the battery light on the dash will flicker on and off. Not constantly, just for a few mins at a time, then it will stop for a while. Then for no apparent reason start flickering on and off again. Sometimes it stays on solid for about a minute or so.
It's doesn't make any difference what RPM the engine is doing. It can do it at idle or in motion.
I'm not convinced it's an alternator problem because the battery is charging nicely. A multimeter across the battery terminals at engine idle registers about 14.5v.
I'm thinking it could be a dying regulator, but i need some more ideas. Any input would be appeciated.
