I checked voltage with the engine running. got a climbing

a $3 multimeter.
Ouch! If that's accurate, you have troubles. Well designed
automotive electronics should survive 20 V - but how close to 20 V
is it?
You could use a known precise voltage between 10 and 20 V to check
the meter. A computer power supply, a regulated wall wart, a lead
acid battery known to be good that's been at rest for a few hours...
