I have an 82 westy diesel that everything was working fine on until the alt light came on. I tested the alt, which was bad and replaced it. After replacing it, everything was fine for about a week where the light started to come back on dimly at first eventually brighter and eventually on full brightness again resulting in a bad alternator. They are under warrantee but I have replaced 3 alternators and all follow the same pattern. My wiring has not been messed with and I have found no obvious shorts. Any suggestions or clues?? Thanks, Phil
