Thanks Swampy,

I have the service manual and have done the ohm test, but alas it passes so now I am really stumped.

I have another post going regarding my probs, but I will put on this post what I am considering and hope others will comment.

What if you bypass the harness all together and go directly from the regulator (dc side) and hook directly to the battery? what probs would this cause if any? I think it would narrow it down to something in the harness....
