This is really getting to me.
Today I have to miss a day of work to try to track this error down.
 
I have a 2000 Mazda 626 2.0l
Car started and ran fine.
I left my house.
I got 3 miles up the road and noticed my voltage up close to 16. (radar detector is telling me the voltage)
Then my radar detector threw a high volt warning.
Car down shifted, check engine light blinked, voltage dropped below 15.5, car shift back to normal and light goes off.
I turned around as i am 30 min from the closest town. Since it was throwing high volt i was turning everything on that i could think of to try to draw it down.
I could not go above 40mph.
As soon as i did the voltage would spike, and down shift, light blink, return to normal, normal shift, light off.
 
This happened for ~1.5-2 miles and then went back to normal and i could accelerate as needed.
Same symptoms happened when i first bought the car and transmission company told me it was my battery connection. 3 other companies later and i got the transmission replaced and there was nothing for 4 years till now.
 
I disconnected my Amp wire, pulled the fuse under the hood, and drove it around to no avail so i am pretty sure it is not the amp wiring causing the issue.
 
SO i am assuming i have an electrical issue somewhere... Any ideas?

This was a bad power steering pump. Replacement wasn't too difficult.

I have a 1992 626 mazda, the battery died and replaced it two days ago. Upon replacing it i noticed the warning lights "charge" and "rear" is on. What does this mean? Could this be link to my alternator needing replacement or is it totally different prob? Im suspecting my alternator is gone, cos when my car is on idle i only get 12.9 V?
