Came out to the battery dead in the cruiser one day. Weird but okay. I jumped it and ran it and thought it was okay. Dead again two days later. Weird. The battery is pretty old so I got a diehard platinum. Dead the next day. Out comes the multimeter and I’m pulling 3amps. I jump it and check across the terminals and I’m at 18v. I notice all of my turn signals are burned out, which were my last non LED bulbs. I did notice my positive terminal was cracked so I replaced that, same issue. Radio no longer turns on when truck is on and the ABS light comes on intermittently. Inside reads at 18v when running.
Based on zero knowledge and skill, I am lead to believe the regulator in the alternator is defective. I have no idea if this is the original or not, I would assume so. Plan is to buy a reman denso and hope for the best. Is there anything else I am missing before I do? I used multiple multimeters and same results. I have the battery disconnected now so I can move it if needed.
