These lights are designed to run on 33 volts max, they all worked perfect today. What are y'all's thoughts on the gauge reading high? If it's charging within spec should I not rely on the gauge? I'm stumped. I'll go over all the connections better and see if I find anything.

The gauges aren't always accurate, and are sometimes way off. If your lights keep going out randomly and coming back I would look for shorts to ground in the lighting circuit and replace the three lever light switch. There are circuit breakers I the switch that are subject to failure. My truck running 30 volts shows just barely in the upper edge of the green on the gauge.

Do you have the big brick sized voltage regulator on your truck?

I agree with Jeepsinker. Replace the light switch. Your voltages are fine, don't mess with it. All our busses run at 29.7 to 30.0 Volts .
Yea, voltage seemed more than reasonable to me. I should have another switch laying around. Only cable I didn't replace during the rebuild was the battery to frame, so I'm going to replace it just to be safe.
I don't think so, but I'll check.
