Alternator Problem S5 Turbo

Turbo II · 08-05-2011, 09:05 PM

Decided since I left the windows open and the hood up while I was online searching for answers I'd better close it up. So I cranked it up and it worked fine for 5 mins again except I noticed this time since the parking lights were on so I could see the dash that around 3500 rpms or so the two lights on the warning cluster (open door and parking brake on) were fluctuating some (brighter then dimmer) as well as the lights on the dash and doors. Other than that everything was fine, anywhere from 13 to 14 volts depending on the revs until it decided to freak out again and start putting out 17 volts and the warning cluster came back on. Guess I'll be pulling it back off tomorrow morning.
