I explained my problem to the cleark and he looked at me like I had been smoking crack?then he said something very profound....it must be the dimmer switch? I said all lights!again,we cant help you it "passed" I went home put back on alternator cleaned up ground on bracket of alternator.also insalled extra ground on bracket too? checked all connections on battery ect stiil getting plusing light at 800 rpm or at 2000 rpm sitting at stop sign or at 80 miles an hour?? I put a old anolog meter on the + and - side of the battery with the car off I got about 12.3 volts steady/ With it running I got about 14.0 volts but it bounced between 14-15 volts up and down?
