OK, bonehead move here. Let's just say it involved alot of beer, and a battery that didn't originally come out of my 914 (reversed posts).

Anyway, I hooked it up backwards. There- I said it.

The alt light stays on, with no key in the ignition.

Did I fry the diodes in the alternator, or did I fry the voltage regulator? Any easy tests to see which is the most likely?

Thanks for the help...
