Excellent advice below...

I'd like to add that the battery "idiot" light on the dashboard is also important. I can't explain it technically but the bulb is part of the charging circuit, if it doesn't light up when you put the key in position II then you'd better get it replaced before you start attacking other items in the system.

You can do a search for more technical details.

Good luck,
Bean

Oh, and some advice while working with anything related to the battery/charging system (ie: poking and tugging wires)... disconnect the battery and remove all rings from your hands.
