Thank you all for your suggestions. Quite suprisingly, my entire wiring harness is in excellent condition. (1983 244GLT/130K miles). After experiencing the "crumbling" wiring syndrome in my 84 wagon, I almost have to think that the harness in my 83 was replaced at some point. I did however check the voltage at the battery while the car was running and discovered that indeed it was only putting out about 11.4 volts (regardless of RPM), so I am assuming that this is what is causing my caution lights to illuminate full time. Now to my second question. Should I replace the entire alternator or just get the new adjustable voltage regulator from IPD and replace that and the brushes? I'm not very knowledgeable about what causes alternators to suddenly put out a lower than normal voltage. It would be nice to save a little money and get the adjustable regulator to boot, but am I being penny wise and pound foolish?
Thanks - Bill
