Yogitech1 Posted yesterday at 06:15 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 06:15 AM I'm starting to get a bug now and then in the electrical system. Last week coming home I suddenly got a ding and a battery light, I looked at my voltage monitor and it read 11.9 V a little further it read 14.1 V the varied between 13.6 V and 14.3 V. Today it's been doing fine. Earlier this evening while changing hwys the car suddenly went neutral on me, engine reved, low fuel light came on, and I was reminded that I need an oil change again, which it only dies once I start it first thing. Oil is getting changed Monday. Also left tail light has been burning dim for some time but glares at you from time to time like it's possessed. Engine off key in acc. the tail light will blink randomly, (the rear wiper motor is bad), and I noticed when it blinks the rear wiper will move a bit. Does anyone have any suggestions. Other than that it runs great and nothing's wrong with the radio. P.S. The factor horn is also disconnected as it blows when it feels like it whether I'm driving it or in bed sleeping.
