Hopefully the other shoe has dropped. Driving the SD this afternoon the SRS light came on then the charge light came on then the seatbelt light flashed then the clock stopped... had power steering and temp gauge was at 82*C so I knew it wasn't the belt.

Hopefully it was all caused by an incapable alternator. You know you have a 140 when you say that I'll take it off tomorrow and have it tested.

Now the question is - how does the charge light work? What's the threshold current for it to come on?

I'll also get a second opinion on the current draw. I isolated it to 5 fuses a few months ago. If I can verify my methods and DVM I can pursue it more confidently.

Thanks,
Sixto
