[QUOTE="01yellercobra, post: 17013961, member: 35549"] I thought I had a bad alternator, but that wasn't it. I broke out the manual and did some trouble shooting. The yellow/white wire at the plug has 12.6vdc. But the light green/red wire only has 11.6vdc with the key on. So the alternator isn't turning on. I did find fuse 20 blown. I replaced it and it hasn't blown since. Sounds like a short, but nothing is overly obvious. Recent changes are that I added the Mark VIII fan. I have it wired to use the stock plug for power through the CCRM and it now has a fan controller. I did snip the high speed fan wire from the CCRM to use the signal for the fan controller. I also moved some wires around under the dash to change how the widebands are powered and to stage the second fuel pump. I pulled the dash out to remove the ABS bulb as I deleted the module and also pulled the theft bulb. I got tired of it flashing. I moved the car a couple times during all this and I don't remember the battery light coming on. But I didn't have it running more than a minute as I didn't have most of the cooling system attached. I'm assuming I need to chase wires, but I can't figure out where the sense lead goes from at the plug under the fuse block. [/QUOTE]
