However how long did you leave the multimeter on for.
Could be a goosed regulator.

Left the multimeter on for a bit and it was holding fairly steady as long as the indicators/hazards werent going, then it would fluctuate a little, not a huge amount though.

I'd test the alternator directly,iirc you can remove the block connector and see what voltage it is giving out.

My alternator has the big M8(iirc) ring connector so i can just probe that. Ill give it a check tomorrow.
