  Hello list,

  I'v been havin a problem I was replacing my 02
sensor from a previous problem and after resetin my 02
light(behing IP)87 5ksq the park brake, alt, 02 lights
still stayed on the bottom strip of the IP so I
manipulated the wires and the lights went out but
while screwing the IP into the dash the lights came
back on and no matter what I did they wouldn't go back
out,
  then after a little bit my Volts light comes on my
warning display and the car eventually dies(battery
drained),

  So after a few listers saied to check my voltage
regulator and check the brushes I did so they measured
10mm within spec greatly,
 and the blue wire of death I only checked at the
connector at the jump start post found it to be
corrode and replaced it with a brand new one I even
souldered the connections and shrink wraped it
  so today I checked things again and this is what
happens
  Car starts, park brake, alternator, and 02 lights
stay on(clock light not working now, usta work) after
a short period battery Volts light comes on and car
eventually dies.
  Used spare wire between red and blue led wire in
back of alternator like James Marriott sugested and
the park brake, alternator, and 02 lights go out then
unhooking the spare wire the lights come back on again
Whats that mean?

  Checked blue wire of death using mutimeter(us1119)
and found no breaks in wiring(zero resistance) checked
blue wire in Tracks described in the(Bentley Electrcal
Manuel)24, 25, and 26 they all checked fine.
 Whats wrong with my car all I did was change the 02
sensor and reset the switch and now this HELP.
Thanks
Ron
