Alternator

   Jeff:

You, most probably, have a bad diode.  This will eventually run your
battery down.  I strongly recommend that you pull the alternator and
have it serviced at a decent alternator shop.  A bit of solder properly
applied should fix the problem- this should not cos very much.  It is an
cheap and easy fix, so it would seem foolish to me to ignore it,
especially considering the possible consequences.
