C'mon guys, everything is new. All of a sudden my "G" (Alternator) light will not go out. No matter what I do. Any ideas?

Have ya put a volt meter on the battery posts? Make sure the battery is FULLY charged....

12.5v at rest
13.0 at idle
13.5-14.0 max at 2500 rpms

Alts do take a dump....they also have regulator probs....see what the meter says and get back to us...
