I cleaned all and put the brown wire directly on the reg case as shown and peak V dropped to 14.9 at 4,000


14.9 is still too high IMO, 13.8 to 14.2 is considered ideal for a lead acid battery. One can fudge a bit but anything over 14.5 indicates a problem and can lead to shortening the life of components beer

Nice Diagram by the way up


Thanks!
15V is in spec for low temps, but it isn't THAT cold.


I just found some excellent drawings and descriptions of the Mopar charge system relating to all of this thread.

Great for helping trace Voltage issues at various conditions.
