Voltage drop on acc
I'm pretty sure I'm going to need another switch. So the issue is on acc or what power is coming off my switch to my fuse box is showing 1.0 difference than what I have on hot. So things get power when the key is on is showing 12.4 while it's on. Battery and alt show 14.5 wire from the starter to the fuse box show 14.5 . power coming from the fuse box to switch 14.5 switch out 13.5
Just want to see if anybody experience this or is this normal? |

Re: Voltage drop on acc
Are there things powered downstream when you make that voltage check? Any drain downstream is going to cause a voltage drop, even if you had a direct connection. Or is everything downstream turned off? If so, that voltage drop seems high to me. I don't know what mine looks like, though. How old is the switch?

Re: Voltage drop on acc
I wonder if it’s not because it’s a new switch and needs broke in I would try wiggling the switch not to the point you turn it of just enough you scrub the contacts and watch your meter and see if it improves??

Re: Voltage drop on acc
I've never seen 14.5 battery volts in my entire life.
Do you have original wiring? |
