take it in as stated and everything will be fine
in the end.

Unless they need to 'soak' test the new alternator, you know, to be on the safe side

Stealership problem. No known TSBs on the subject.

Other than looking at the obvious like blown fuses, definately leave it to warranty work.

I had to come in when we had the heat wave down here with bad regulators on the alternators.

Try a volt meter to see if the alternator is charging while its running?
