Charging problems
So i am having problems with my c4 charging i charge my battery and it reads 12.9 when i start it it reads 12.6 and slowly starts dropping and then dies i have a good battery and alternator and have no shorts and spliced a new battery terminal in place of the corroded one. It helps but doesn't fix the problem

Your dash gauge could be bad so be aware of that p ossibility. It's possible it could be the charging wire (was on mine). Take a heavy wire from the lug on the alternator to the positive battery post and see if that makes a difference in your charging and voltage readings. Just be careful of the old wire, it should be hot on both ends.
