I got my problem fixed
Sort of. I discovered by cutting one of the three wires in a disconnect harness, I fixed my problem with no further issues. It's been almost two years and I haven't had an issue. How did I pick this wire? Based on the limited circuit diagram I had access to, I used jumpers and found when this was disconnected, my symptoms disappeared.
I think that my problem was caused by the rebuilt alternator. There's something about the rebuilt rectifier bridge that creates this possible grounding problem. If that's the case, a better alternator might be a better fix. However, with the hassle of removing and re-installing an alternator, I'd say I can live with my fix.
The wire I'm referring to is the white/ w green striped wire. There is also a black w/yellow, and white w/blue in the bundle. It's located directly below the two fat white wire/disconnect attached to the power steering reservoir bracket near the battery. Cut the wire in the middle so you can reconnect, if it causes other problems. I think the wire is used for the "low battery" indicator. So, just be aware that you will lose that indicator.
You can always reconnect the wire, if it creates a problem you can't live with.
Good luck, and of course I assume no liability for this information.
