Guten Abend Volks, Per the Bentley, I disconnected battery ground, then removed my alternator. Reconnect battery ground, turn ingition switch on. LEDs for OXS and ALT both lit up. Bentley says this means I have a short to ground somewhere along the wire path from alternator. These LEDs shouldn't come on with alternator disconnected. Any advice/clues where the short might be?
