Hi All....about to go through a trouble shoot and thought I would see what the list thinks first. I have a 91 Vanagon with a EJ22. The alternator is from the subaru but it still connects (somehow?) into the stock VW dash light for the alternator. My alternator bearing went last week and I had it rebuilt. Put the new alternator in, start, light goes out as its supposed to. Go for a drive....after about 5 minutes light starts to come on dimly at first and within 5 minutes is on full bright. Go back to the house, pullout voltmeter - while running output is 14.2V at alternator and 14.0V at the battery under passenger seat.....so alternator seems to be working fine..... where to start?
