Thanx Mark and Robert for your clarity!  And interesting to learn about that starter solenoid ground route.

Here's where I'm at:
   - Checked voltage at D spade on my alt and got 0.12v with the engine   running.
    -  The relay was not wired correctly.

So I plan to get an aux bat wiring kit from GW and a new relay.  GW has a 'second bat relay' that looks remarkably similar to what Bently calls 'frig heater relay'.  Are these indeed the same?

  And get a rebuilt Bosch alt ($91 at my FLAPS for an Autolite brand Bosch rebuild, comes with a lifetime warranty and a 24 month '24/7 Roadside assistance' garrunty!).   Does sound like it will be my fix?

  Can my alt be fixed to provide current to the blue wire spade and keep it for a good spair for the cost of the core charge? It does keep my starter bat up.

thanx again to this great list!
