I believe there is a high load on my electrical system when my 1991 Explorer is running. Voltage is around 12v (it was always 14v in the past) but sometimes dips even lower. It is not consistant. The alternator and battery are new. I just replaced the alternator, and I have a feeling that this mysterious load is what caused it to burn out. Battery holds its charge fine when vehicle is off.
Is there something that would commonly cause this? It is occurring with the engine started and NO accessories (lights, blower, etc.) on.
