Bob, This is an excellent thread. I am having a similar problem with my gen light on dim and intermittent. I have a small garage and have to test when I can pull the car out and have time to work on it. Please keep your findings coming. They are extremely helpful to me.
I work with an electrical engineer and have feed him information on my symptoms. He is currently going through the wiring diagrams and information provided by Vikki and this post. I'll let you folks know what he comes up with unless I find it on my own. Unfortunately work keeps getting in the way of both of us troubleshooting my problem!
