[s-cars] Battery, Brake and ABS lights on. Braking almost nonexistent.

[J R]

Disregard those numbers.  12v at the battery and only 7.2v at the
alternator.  That's obviously too low.  I just had the alternator rebuilt.
I did have a leaking X-plug on my power steering pump, which I fixed.  maybe
the leaked fluid damaged the voltage regulator on the back of the
alternator?  Where might I get another one ASAP (as in at a local parts
store)?  Thoughts?

Thanks,

JR
