yup. it's in the alternator. I forget exactly what it is but if it goes bad.....your voltage will go up the more power you make. Instead of staying at 14-15 volts max it goes up to say 16-17 volts. This will eventually damage your electrical components, starting with your lights and going to everything else....like your radio, gauge cluster and whatever else requires no more than 12-14 volts to operate properly.
Just my $0.02 but you might want to just have it checked out....I've seen this happen before and it's not really pretty.
