Jeff,
Thanks for replying...guess I need to go look for that post, huh?!
You mention 'ground brown'...what exactly do you mean? I have a poor ground somewhere and the wire should be brown?
I didn't think I had but one 14-pin connector, the one in the engine compartment. Where's the second? I checked my 14-pin tonight and it looked good and the row of fuses in the trunk are all ok, but I didn't try checking their contact points...
Have any idea what fuse the license plate lights are on? I was suspicious of the voltage regulator causing my other problems, but I checked the battery (between 10 and 11 volts due to repeated starts without charging) and when started put my voltmeter across the overhead light on the driver side...just popped it out...and the voltage didn't change. Doesn't sound like I'm charging, huh? The belt tension is fine.
