i got a cigarette lighter voltmeter and noticed my voltage fluctuates between 12 and 14? so i thought it might be something in the fuse panel to the cigarette lighter but i put a meter on battery and it matches what the voltmeter in cigarette lighter has. its a new alternator and was going to take it back to shop that installed it but just want to make sure it couldnt be something else causing it? does vx have resistor block? i found other civics have it but i couldnt find it for the vx? sounds like to me the regulator but what you guys think?

is the brushless alternator really necessary? i am not running one right now.
