This weekend the Dart had issues. The battery got over charged and actually started to boil over and had steam coming out of it. It smelled really bad. I am kinda lost as to what happened. I thought the voltage regulator probably went out. I had the regulator tested and Autozone said it was ok. What else could it be. I am going to replace the voltage regulator anyway and hope it will fix the problem. I already replaced the battery and had the charging system checked. It was reading almost 17 amps. Someone before me altered the wiring and installed a different voltage regulator than what came on the car stock. Also I noticed that there was a green wire by the alternator that was disconnected. The alternator has the heavy black wire which goes to the battery and it has a blue wire connected to it as well. I have no idea where this green wire goes.
Can you guys give me your thoughts on what might have happened? Also give me your thoughts on the wiring issues. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
