Default Does Voltage Stabilizers Work?

leaning on purchasing one http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...n%3D4

Power Windows, HIDs, FogLights, everytime i switch it on seems like its taking too much energy and the car is making a louder noise than before.

will this solve the problem?

Why did you post this topic twice?

as for the posts there, only read bserious's posts... the others are useless..

except for the ones about getting a more powerful alternator.

-----------------

voltage stabilizers, capacitors, and bigger or more batteries will not solve your problem.

its normal for the car to increase its idle speed when more electricity is used, means that your ELD is working.

Check your alternator belt to see if its loose, or needs to be replaced.

Check your alternator to see if its working at full potential.

A common fix - in car audio - is to reduce the resistance between the source of power (the alternator) and the things requiring the power.

This is done by increasing the wire size of the power wire, and the ground wires.

aka: Upgrading the big three: alternator, ground, and battery wire.
