My dash warning lights are acting strange.  The Alt and OX light come on sporadically for no apparent reason. Sometimes they go out when I shut off the engine,  restart and rev it up.  Sometimes it take 10-15 minutes of driving.    Also, every now and then my temp warning light flashes while idling, after the initial flash at start-up, even while the engine is relatively cool.  When I turn off the engine and re-start it does its initial flashing and goes out.  I've double checked my connections and everything looks fine..    Another thing that happens from time to time, my engine stalls.  No shuddering, no power loss.  It just shuts off like a switch.  It's happened 3 times now and once it took about 10 minutes before it would start again.   Everything else seems to be running really well.  Am I missing something here?  Is this just the nature of the beast?  Can anyone tell me what might be going on?   One more thing...  :) Is the green light on my refridgerator, the one for the LP pilot light, supposed to come on when I use the 12v setting?  'cause it does, but not when I use the 110V.   Thanks a bunch Steve
