Battery Light slowly fades on and off. 1995 GR.
Hello all! I'm from Michigan USA and recently imported a 95 Tip GR, with 62k KMs. Car is absolutely mint and well maintained. I've driven it for over 1000miles now and I've just now started getting this battery light coming and going. I've checked alternator belt tension, all fuses, terminals leading from battery and cables from alternator. With my multimeter on the battery with the car off, I get 12.68v at the battery. Upon starting though, it goes to 15.4 and slowly climbs from there until it sits happily (scarily) at around 16v on the multimeter.il I shut the car off immediately and disconnected the battery. I don't wanna hurt anything like the ECU or other sensitive stuff. Any ideas if this might be the alternator voltage regulator going poof, or possibly the alternator itself? And if possible, what alternator part number I need? I'm sorry to be so full of questions. I was going to make a newbie post but decided I would post for help here as well as introduce myself and the car. I've loved these cars since 1999 and am so happy at 30 years old to finally own one. Thank you to anyone and everyone who responds. And happy holidays

Alternator is fucked, needs a new rectifier.

Lucky it's a GR, easier to source.

I'm not near a copy of ASA, but was it not the same one used in the Galant and the Dodge Talon?

Apologies for late reply. Just moved so haven't had time to do anymore diagnosis or repair. Unfortunately NOTHING in the USA even comes close to matching the alternator here. Just recently learned that the stepper motor can be sourced from Dodge Stealth 6g72. As far as anything else goes, SOL for any other interchangeable parts. Any idea of the part number I would need for an alternator??? An old guy here in US said it might be my ECU and to replace that? *sigh* I'm still unsure. Thanks everyone.
