Charging Gremlins

[nicadimus@hotmail.com (Elijah R)]

Here is the skinny, the 92 cabriolet (automatic) I picked up, is giving me 
hell. It was having problems running down the battery, so put a new battery 
in it, then the alt died, replaced it with a refurburished one. Still the 
car bearly runs at 12volts and if you do anything (i.e. lights, turn 
signales, a/c, or power windows, the the voltage drops to like 10 volts and 
stays there for a long time. I replaced the wires from the battery to the 
alt and starter with new wires and added a new ground to the block/tranny 
housing area. And still it likes to drain the battery over a 2 day period . 
I can't find any abnormal drain on the system while the car is off (i.e. 
fan, stereo, whatnot). I have discovered a portion of a prior alam system 
under the dash, which I am going to remove tomorrow (spliced into the 
ignition, consists of a valet switch and control box). Can any one off any 
advice as to where my gremlin might be? TIA

(how come every car i buy needs new friggin altenators, lol, I should buyu 
stock in Bosch)
