I still  need to remove the alt. when I do the timing belt job, but does 
this trigger  anything for anyone.  very odd.



Sounds like my Rabbit when the B+ wire, where it connects to the  battery, 
was corroded.  I didn't have a bright red light at idle but it was  visible 
in the evening or dark.  Either had to clean the terminal or put on  a new 
one and it worked perfectly.  Use  your volt meter, set it to a  low voltage 
setting and check for "voltage drop" across any connections you can  
(ground, battery, battery to B+ post, etc).  See if you find one that gives  you 
some voltage, indicating its going through your meter better than the  
connection.
