Okay, In on my wireless Tablet PC and these recordings are in real time.
Volts across battery terminals: 12.95 volts before turning car on. Remember I had been using the battery for testing purposes from the previous evening.
Using method described, with ammeter hooked up between negative cable end and the fuses, I checked each once. The highest reading in mv was. 003 on any of the fuses. So no appreciable drain to speak of. Most of the fuses read -0-
The car was allowed to get good and warmed up. the results where @ idle 13.81-13.73 with blower motor and lights turned on. During this time as I was standing next to the car I heard a device cycle on and off without a particular specific time interval.I tried to determine where the sound was coming from using a too foot stick against the various rotating parts and next to my ear, but no luck.
this is interesting: I just reached inside the car turned the lights and blower motor off. I began to write the measurements on my tablet pc. are of a sudden .the multimeter began reading 12.32 volts after that re clicking" sound of a device came on. The car has been running now approx,for thirty minutes.
fine minutes passed and I tuned the headlights on briefly. the millimeter on the battery reads 12.28 volts.
Attaching the clamp on ammeter, to the cable running from the alternator to the battery positive shows -O- volts.
Okay the car bas vow been running about an hour and that "clicking" device sound which made the multimeter jump door to 12.32 has not came back on or cycled again. the battery reading is now 12.18. Is my alternator toast??
