Charging system
The alternator was checked at O'Rielly Auto Parts. Don't know what process the tester uses. The belts are fine and tight. The battery was checked at Wal Mart, again, I don't know what process the tester uses. Both places said they were the latest and greatest testers.
I am going to take the batt and alternator to Advance to be re-checked. If they say they are good I will have to assume they are.
I cannot find a source of drain on the battery but I have always believed if the VOM shows voltage between a cable and post when everything is supposed to be off there is a problem.
I found a switch that looks like it may be for an underhood light. It looks as though it is supposed to be tripped by closing the hood. I cannot find a light and after disconnecting the wire leads to the switch the VOM still shows voltage.
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated. I though I had a pretty good handle on electrical problems but I am running out of ideas.
Thanks, Darrell
