Default Re: 12 when off. 14 when running :S Don't have a multimeter yet, so dunno exactly.

When my car starting acting like this, it turned out to be the battery. The Altenator was bad also and damaged the battery. The guage would read 12v engine off and 14v engine running.

Yeah, I'll test it for sure. I'm not that much of a newbie. Thanks for the heads up.
