Over in the fusible link thread, Tim helped me sort my issues and all was GREAT, for a week or so.
Then, I started having that odd dash flash on start-up but it always went away after a second or two, so I tried to ignore it.

Yesterday, the interior light bulb blew and this morning I am back to steady xmas lights.
I suspect the bulb didn't like having 15V coursing through it.
On the upside, the clock has been keeping PERFECT time ever since the repair (It's been AWOL for the past 2 years)

When I checked voltage (engine running) I had 12.5 at the battery, then I checked it at the pos post under the seat and found 15V, not so good.

Double checked all the repairs from the other day and that all looks good.

As the alternator harness is hard to access, I parted the upper plug to the alt harness and checked for continuity of the wiring and found that I have 65 ohms resistance on the FL 0.5G wire.
As luck would have it, while checking the "signal" wire, I accidentally contacted ground and found zero resistance.


My limited electrical knowledge tells me that this is a really bad sign.
I have visually inspected what little of the harness I can see and there are no obvious pinches or rubs but it is far from easy to tell anything for sure.

Seeing as I don't have time or desire to rip out the whole harness apart to find the breach am currently thinking that running a new wire
from the alt harness connection back to the fusible link at the battery will be my best course of action.

Don't like that plan much as I find electrical faults to be like mice, they never travel alone.
But as time is of the essence, I may have to resist my AR tendencies.

From the diagram, I can't see anything else that would be affected by running a new wire but figured I should consult the guru before doing anything potentially stupid.

Thanks in advance
