On my '94 945T, with 70K miles, the most of the panel warning lights light up per usual during starting, but stayed on this a.m. while my wife drove the car a few miles home from work.

The FAQ has some tips on this...bad alternator wiring, especially the "exciter current" wire that goes into the back of the alternator (if it is grounded, it will 'appear' as if the alternator is not charging). Or, it could be the alternator is, in fact, out of order.

I would appreciate any war stories/troubleshooting tips. Thanks!
