Maybe, but it could still be a "sticking" voltage regulator. Were you able to find your VR? If it happens again what you should do is rap your knuckles on the amp gauge and see if it returns to normal. If that doesn't do it, rap on the voltage regulator and see if it returns to normal. This is where a little cigarette lighter volt meter helps. If the amp gauge swings all the way to the right and your volt meter also registers 17 volts then that tells you it's not a malfunctioning amp gauge.
