Ok, so i know this is bad and Im not using the car until i fix it. Ive had some weird Terminal 30 codes on the abs and the engine and I went to check the battery (thinking it may be going). The battery is relatively new (3 months) and when the guy installed it (just easier to get it delivered), it read 14.8 during idle. Now its at 22.3 or something close to that. I am assuming this is the regulator? I think ill get a whole new alternator (with the reg included of course). Anyone other ideas>?

Save some money. Just swap the voltage regulator. You know the alternator has no problem making power.

Yeah I considered that but by the rim I remove the alternator, replace the regulator and for the difference in money I think I'll just replace the whole thing
