My dash lights and my dome lights are fluctuating with the ammeter/voltage gage. Would the dash voltage regulator affect the ammeter/battery voltage reading if it was bad?
that's a good thought as far as the flickering lights go as they are all tied together. if you have a spare it couldn't hurt to test it out.

Thanks Mike. I was not sure if the dome and the dash lights were on the same circuit or not.
It sounds like Powermaster did not find any issues and they said that it is a common problem that the parts store tester did what it did. They are going to send me another alternator even though mine tested fine. They have been good to work with.
Thanks again.

Which means that they found a problem but they don't want to tell you about it so they are covering it by sending out a different unit.  Kind of tells you what they have invested inthe product, don't it.

I just got another email from Powermaster stating that they will put all new internals into my existing case. They are covering it even though I am 6 months out of warranty. I just need to pay for shipping.
I am surprised that they are gutting it completely if they found nothing wrong. But, I am happy that they are replacing the unit. Hopefully this will fix my fluctuating ammeter/system voltage at idle.
Thanks again for the replies.
