Well, the alternator is bad, but I still have the question of the damned Battery light. It has never worked, and I checked the bulb, it's good. I've also been told that on this model car, when the battery light goes, the system doesn't charge, but that doesn't sound like the case with the dual output design of this alternator. I'm also wondering about the 2.2 micro farad capacitor between the +W (stator) winding and the ground, is this a requirement?
I have actually learned alot of interesting things about Saabs since starting on this car, mainly that the alternator supplies constant +13v~+16v to the battery regardless if it's charged or not. Odd but okay, I'll buy that. I've also found that the backward engine really plays hell on maintenance, what were they thinking? Anyhew, thanks again everyone for the help, I picked up some hints/tips on the overall charging system that would've torqued me for a while.
Thanks again
