Check gauges light came on and voltage was down to half way between red and 14v. I pulled over, left the engine running and popped the hood, all appears normal. Read a couple threads on here describing the same condition and had the alternator checked at Napa and O'riellys both said it's good. I checked connections at battery, grounds, alt, etc. all were good. Checked voltage across battery and from battery to alt; same readings, which are 12.2 w/eng off and 11.6 running. Pic shows gauge reading. Pulled alt and forgot to check voltage between eng ground and alt. I plan on taking it to an alternator shop and have him test it hoping he will do a more thorough check.
The CEL never lit up.
Thoughts? Should I check voltage between engine ground and alternator?
