Subject:'86 Vanagon alternator question
From:Dan R. Hall

Guten Abend Volks,
Per the Bentley, I disconnected battery ground, then removed my alternator.
Reconnect battery ground, turn ingition switch on.
LEDs for OXS and ALT both lit up.
Bentley says this means I have a short to ground somewhere along the wire path from alternator.
These LEDs shouldn't come on with alternator disconnected.
Any advice/clues where the short might be?
