Today, I FedExed Island Girl's alternator back to ******** as it is still covered by the manufacturers warranty. The battery light had been coming on intermittently at higher engine RPMs, and the testing I was able to do indicated that the alternator was not charging the battery when the light was on.
My apologies for having been away from the forum for so long-I was having technical difficulties with logging in, or you'd all have had a chance to weigh in on my alternator issues before now.
