Electrical Short / Battery not charging on 87 5KCSQ

[Adam Jansen]

Greetings fellow listers-

I am having issues with my beloved Audi...
The battery is not recharging.  I had this problem a month ago, pulled the alternator and took it in, they said it was fine, battery checked out good as well.  Put it all back together and the car ran fine...

Now the same thing is happening again... Since the alternator and battery checked out, I am thinking it must be a short somewhere... but where?

Any suggestions????

On a similar topic, my dash lights dont light up with the headlight switch (headlights come on, gauges all work, warning lights in the pod all work, and the lights in the center console all come on) so I am thinking this is a bad ground somewhere as well... Maybe related???? Maybe not....


HELP!!!!!
