    Electrical problems

    Hi All Im new to the forum and Im hoping someone can help, I think my alternator is overcharging which is causing the electrics to go crazy, wipers turn on, DSC & ABS lights, indicators dont work etc. So my question is if its over charging then the alternator must be ok? Could the problem then be the VR and if so how do I check it?
    Its a BMW 320d e90 2005.

    First thing to do is grab a multimeter, apply it to the hot terminal under the hood and ground, and see what voltage you observe with (1) the car off and (2) the engine running. Report back with real information.
