If its a new auto parts store replacement one its preset out of the box.But a theres slight chance its defective is a possibility.

If its the old original piece to the car.It can have been in to and misadjusted.Or wore out as stuck contacts or etc mech defect it will allow it to run up the voltage past requirements..Make sure your parts are in good workng order .Or replace them
