[QUOTE="ronin-sj410, post: 1539094, member: 19840"] First, you guys are always great at helping so thank you. I have an 82 samurai with a 22r motor. The issue I'm having is I recently installed a voltage meter and I noticed while the engine is running it sits at 13.5v but when I step on the breaks voltage drops to about 11v and returns to 13.5 immediately after releasing. Is this normal or do I need to do some wire chasing. Wiring is as follows: voltage meter connected directly to battery. Signal wire for alternator connected directly to battery(I know this causes a drain but it's a trailer queen and terminal is disconnected when not driving), charge wire connected directly to battery. Taillights are standard 1157(?) brake/turn bulbs. Also I have noticed that my winch looses power after being ran for more than a few mins with a load on it which is also connected directly to the battery. Any ideas or help is greatly appreciated. Thank you [/QUOTE]
