When i got home i checked the charging, it was charging at 13.1-13.3 volts, the meter was jumping around with the range mentioned.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

9 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1Original post

2005 Boxster S - 987, 3.2 L. I have owned my 2005 Boxster now for 1 month. i have an intermittent charging issue. Sometimes my charging is low (13.2) the dashboard warning comes light goes. When its charging properly its at about 14.1V and no light. When it isn't charging i can tell because the restarts are very very slow. I assume that if it was an alternator or voltage regulator it would be all the time. Any suggestions

POST 2Original post

Is it load related, i.e., does voltage drop when you have lights or other high current accessories on and are idling, or does it just happen randomly irrespective of load / engine speed? If load / engine speed related you may have lost an alternator diode (reduced charging capacity). Otherwise it may be a loose connection somewhere, ground or power, that sometimes makes a poorer connection.

POST 3Original post

Thanks danschy for reaching out! It happens randomly irrespective of engine load / speed. Aside from removing the alternator, is there anything i can check to see if its the alternator or not?

POST 4Original post

How old is your battery? I'd have that checked first. You could have a cell failing. And failing batteries in our cars cause all kinds of weird things to happen, unlike most cars.

POST 6Original post

Get it checked any way. You wouldn't be the first to get a brand new battery that was faulty. It's happened to me twice in my driving history.

POST 7Original post

I checked the battery, it checked out fine. i went out last nite and drove around for an hour or so. When i got home i checked the charging, it was charging at 13.1-13.3 volts, the meter was jumping around with the range mentioned. THE WEIRD THING IS THAT MY "BATTERY/CHARGING" LIGHT ON THE DASH DID NOT COME ON. i ordered a voltage regulator and when i get the problem, again i will try it. Not sure whats going on.

POST 8Original post

** UPDATE *** I had the alternator checked, it was good. I found a loose ground wire from engine to chassis. its now 14.2 Volts. Thank God, I found the problem!!

POST 9Original post

Thanks for sharing your solution. It's certain to help someone else down the road who experiences similar symptoms. I'm glad it was a simple fix! Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk
