Thanks for the quick reply. I will test the alternator. With 170K miles its lived a long and productive life. I wonder if I can just replace the brushes? At least I can take comfort knowing the Alternator is easy to access.

Its a love hate relationship with this car.
Hate - slow, noisy and not the most appealing body design
Love - decent gas mileage (31mpg), rock solid reliability, low cost of ownership

See ya
