junqueyardjim: I have thought about the battery, I know they can be funky, maybe what I'll do is borrow a known good battery from my friend and see how that goes. I've used the voltmeter on it, though, and it tests and behaves normally when all is (or was) good, so I don't think it's funky.

Yak: thanks for the link, it looks good. I am getting the alternator for free, the warranty covers it... the new ones look so cheap next to the original that it replaced, tho. Still have to remove the old one and install the replacement which is a pain in the @ss.

I did manage to have someone jump it a few hours ago and it took me 16 miles, and jumped again from the place I was and took me home with lights on for a short bit, didn't use them til I had to.

But here's another thing, don't know if it's relevant, but I found that the horn doesn't work since this happened. And another thing I did not mention, my back-up lights didn't work for the past few nights.... I checked the fuse (one of the new copper ones) and it's fine. I seem to be having random electrical failures going on, it's weird, but I am sure that if I'm patient I can solve it.
