Re: 98 Buick Regal

Welcome to AF.

When the volts gauge reads high it indicates a problem with the charging system most likely the voltage regulator not regulating properly. It is located in the alternator but normally you replace the alternator if found bad. If you have an Autozone nearby they can test the alternator and battery for you for free. Also, make sure the battery positive and negative cables to include battery terminals are clean and tight.
