Thanks!

RE: Electrical Help please
it's not a known issue per say....
take it in as stated and everything will be fine
in the end.
hopefully the dealership won't put 200 miles
on the car, while fixing it

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?
