I have a Bronc that is eating batteries overnight and have tried all of the tricks to find a short and nothing so far. So I am diconnecting my positive termin al each night.
I had the alternator bench tested and it tested just fine at idle and at high RPM. So I am stumped.
Today I was riding over some rough road when my voltage started going nuts. I pulled over and saw what I suspected, my postive cable popped off (I had not tightened it down good enough).
Here is the question, shouldn't the voltage have stayed pretty normal even with the batt disconnected one the truck is running? Does this point to a regulator (internal to the alt) problem?
