Almost forgot, I pulled the 2-wire connector on the top of the alternator, not the charging line, etc on the back.  I don't know if that makes a difference or not.  my guess is the voltage regulator is kaput?

the charging line in the back of the alternator???

Ha! I think I heard Vile laugh all the way here!

So, I'm new here; is Vilezambonie always cranky?

BTW, What's an 'e' finger and why would you pull it?
