I thought you were trying to come up with the name of the gizmo on the
compressor. I can't remember its name.
Tachometer.

I have a voltmeter very similar to the one from Wal-Mart. I observe that it
is not particularly accurate and the reading is off by a good bit if the
meter is hot (like sitting in a closed car). Still, it's convenient.

I finally rememembered the name of the thing that turns off the AC if the
serpentine belts slips - the KLIMA relay - if anyone cares.

If you put a load tester on the old battery, I'm betting it will show it is
no longer capable of holding full charge when under load. Max AC puts load
on battery, battery discharge rate is greater than it's now able to intake
and hold charge, Alt output from regulator increases to try to make up t
How old is the battery? Since you don't have an ammeter (which I
greatly prefer over an idiot light) it's hard to tell, but I suspect
you are drawing lots of amps all the time charging a battery that's

Might check the aux fan to
Bad battery or loose or dirty terminals.

I hate to disrupt the airplane theorizing but I've got a car question.
Friday I noticed that if I had the AC on ('84 190D) the alternator light would
glow on my car. If I turned the AC off the light would dim and after a couple
minutes would go out completely.
Its pretty hot here (80F when I got
