Idea: if I installed a larger pulley would that help lower the voltage since it would be spinning slower? Could a few of you guy send me a diameter measurement of your pully?
28.5 is the max setting of the regulator or that's the safest max output it should be set? 33 volts is the lowest I was able to achieve at the alt wires.
That's what I thought. I could go as low as 30volts but at that setting the trucks volt meter was in the yellow. So I turned it up till it was online with the hash mark in the green. Once t that point the wiper pump started to work. Something must be messed up still I fear.
I got around to working on the pump today and hooked it up to the batteries and it just sparked once I touched the final wire. I assume this means the pump simply has a short? When I tested the voltage at the batteries tho it was showing 32-34V!! So Ill have to also check the voltage regulator...
I haven't tried hooking it right to the batteries yet., so I'll do that. I did try a spare switch and it seems like I was getting the same wacky voltage reading.
When I test the two wire ends for the pump on continuity I get "004" on the multimeter. When the truck is running and I push in for the pump the numbers vary around but never get over 24v.
Can anyone help figure out the proper way to see what is the reason I have low and high wipers but when I push to wash I get no fluid and the resevior is full.
Thanks.
