Hello,
	My '86 started doing this 2 days ago, now the lites are on all the time.
The alt is not putting out, I checked the battery with a meter.
	Cold and snow here, no wet behind the dash.
	My next step is to pull the alt and take it down to a shop to have it
tested. Right now I'm recharging the battery so the bus doesn't get anyone
stranded. 
	Now if my garage was only warm!
	Later all,

	Rob
