Another battery and brake light flashing questions
I know that everyone here says that when the evo 8 or 9 has the battery and break lights flashing. Alternator is going bad. I went to auto zone to have them test the battery and alternator. They told me my alternator was fine and battery was bad. Replaced battery and still had the same problem. So it was to be the alternator. I have a turbo timer that has a volt meter. It's normally at 14.2 but would jump up to 15.9volts then back down to 14 or even 13 volts repeatly. Down know if anyone elses had that high of a voltage with alternator problem.

From the regulator? Okay I should check that too then. Thanks

There are (4?) wires that run from the built in regulator to several places in the vehicle. One of these is some sort of trigger wire that runs directly from the battery to the regulator, I found that it was showing an inconsistent voltage around 9v, and was causing the alternator to overcharge thinking the battery was at 9v.
Update: Found the diagram
The wire that runs directly to the battery should show 12V. Mine was not, and must have been shorted somewhere.
