My first thought falls back on my electrical experience. If a large load is applied, the voltage is going to drop. Now if something is faulting, besides the regulator, and if it is large enough, it could overwhelm the voltage available causing a drop. Given, it would have to be a pretty sizable load but it is something worth looking into.
I have noticed for years that something is cycling causing a voltage drop in my dash voltmeter. It also causes my dash lights to change brightness. I have been unable to discover what it could be. The real proof would be a recording voltmeter at the isolator or even a recording ammeter. I don’t have one for DC. So far, it hasn’t caused any appreciable harm and inspections of nearly all components and connections hasn’t revealed any excessive damage.
Could this be the same thing happening in this thread?
