Well here is the latest. I ran a ground from the Bat to engine and body to assure that was not the cause but no luck. Then I pulled all the fuses and disconnected headlight switch, blower and AC comp.. I know I'm throwing sh*t at the wall but I'm running out of ideas. I have a hard time thinking it's the Alt. What are the chances of getting two bad Alt. in a row. The first was rebuilt but the second was new. That said I'll have to pull the new one and have it tested. Thanks everyone for your help. Paul
