alt problems

julie,

i was reading up on doing an alternator swap yesterday.  i read that  
there is a sending wire (blue, maybe) that sometimes breaks.   
apparently the alt are designed to "engage" and charge with  
sufficient rpms, so you are noticing this engagement.  check the  
bentley for the specific sending / activation wire, but i think this  
is the problem.

can't find yesterday's link, but you can probably google a match.
