    Maybe pm Beej or Tone ???
    They have as much experience with alternators etc. as many, more than most.

    Might be worth a shot.

    bump...

    well the alternator is without a doubt charging.. i have driven over 500 miles, city, highway and let the vx idle for about 30 minutes.. voltage readings havent really changed at all... cruising on the highway (70-80mph) i was reading 14.4-14.6V still when sitting at a stoplight in park i will read 12.3-12.5V but on startup at idle (even after warmup when rpms are normal at 700-800) i will read 14.4-14.6

    at this point im confident in the charging system so i just want to figure out how to turn off the light.. would rather not pull the bulb but i may end up doing that
