The easiest place for that to happen would be the voltage regulator. Take a look at the wiring harness first, just in case there is a visable short between the green(or blue on some) wire and any other wire or terminal.Also make sure the voltage regulator is securely mounted and grounded . __________________________________ / \ / \ __ / \ __ / ; \......................................../ ; \ / ----------------------------------------------- \ / / o \ \ |/ ( ) ( ) C O R V E T T E ( ) ( ) \| ___________________ ____________________ ------------------.\============= /.-------------------) | ||| T.M. ||| | \______|==|______||==============||________|==|_____/ |||||||| |||||||| |||||||| |||||||| ___________||||||||____________________________________||||||||_______________
