[QUOTE="azJETSclan, post: 8781904, member: 685156"] OK, so my car hasnt burned down ... yet, BUT my installer put the alt in (I dont recall what it is, think its a 400 overkill to make sure I get 14 V to the stereo no matter what else is on) & my check engine light is on & the message is the voltage is higher than the Kia Rio expects or is happy with. I didnt see where there was a fuse or device to step down the Alt to what ever sensor tells the ECM to much power. Should I be looking to have a fuse installed to STOP THE check engine light? Cause when we put the sock back in...check engine goes off....(and my installer...well he has no idea how to correct this issue) I would LOVE to have a resolution. Car is a 2018 Kia Rio. [/QUOTE]
