Hello from the Valley! I need your expert advice please I am pulling my hair out down here! Here is the problem. When I drive my Z at night time with my headlights on of course the battery slowly discharges...it takes at least 25 minutes of driving but then the voltage meter starts to dip below 12 volts really low. I had to turn my lights off to get home. As soon as I
turned my lights off the voltage meter shot back up to 13+. So far I have replaced the battery, voltage regulator, and had my alternator checked, it was ok. I am not sure if my car is going to start tomorrow with out a jump.
Any suggestions? Thanks -Travis

Thanks!!! I replaced a wornout alternator belt and cleaned the connections for the fuseable links. Presto! Problem solved...with my lights on the car runs at 14 volts. Thanks Again. Your advice has saved me alot of money! So when
are you leaving for the show? I did not see anything about it in the newsletter but I am going on saturday and sunday.

Possibly I can leave Friday afternoon after my last class @ FSU, I have never carpooled before and I think it would be a blast. Thanks AGAIN!!!!
Zya, Travis
