does anyone have any idea what might be wrong here??
hello dthorne99, Your winnie should be charginging in the range of 14-14.50 volts at idle. Also check your serpintine belt and tensioner for loosesness and squeling when you turn the wheel. At this point take a clean rag and wipe the belt clean as well as the pullies.
