Thats good see if you have resistance on the alt ground or run your own ground Alt frame to the ground post on the battery. I used one of the Alt housing screws and heavy gauge wire to the neg on the battery. Done this to both my 2nd gens.

Not sure if it will help but, check the alternator grounding that goes thru the mounting bracket. The pivot bolt gets corrosion on the bolt head and bracket. I ran a separate ground from alt housing to the passenger battery. Also check make sure you eliminated the factory grey connection clip on that ground wire to the passenger battery. I think it goes to the PCM if not mistaken. That grey connector is P.O.S. WT wants that connector removed and solder the wire together.

I haven't posted for quite a while... have to say, Mace's work, quality of post and information needs to be a sticky. I hope Mike agrees!

What's been your average miles gained on these Mastertech VP's before needing another? Should be getting quite a lot of miles for each rebuilt VP. I think I heard something like 250 K miles.

There are better qualified people on here than I am but, did you get the VP from a certified Bosch rebuilder? In other words, this intermittent may test good at the moment of testing but the PSG board on top of the VP may not have been changed as per Bosch's requirements. just my thoughts here.

My alarm kept going off without any reason. I was using the key all the time because I am prone to losing my FOB. One day I pulled the drivers door panel and found the end of the cylinder lock with the wire coming off the end. If I held the wire by pulling on it gently in the direction of the door hinges, the alarm would not go off like it always did so annoyingly. I proceeded to use a series of zip ties to mimic the positioning of the wire when pulling on it. It, been 7 years since and the alarm sets off only once in a blue moon now. I think also being that I am lazy, I did not wrap the alarm control box with aluminum foil as so many have recommended, that cell phones will set it off. I hope you can get this figured out. I am not all that much of a techie, since I work hard still and do well enough as a day dreamer LOL.

PilotHouse2500 brought it to my attention that MoparMan hasn't been seen lately on the forum. Hoping he's okay.

I don't know what's wrong or if things are the way it's supposed to be. I know the world and U.S. news is getting worse in general but what I mean is it seems like everyone's personal lives are kind of going unhappy or there's something affecting all of us lately that is hard to pin point. I'm just not sure what it is but it's like fun and happiness something anyways seems to be diminishing everywhere. Am I the only one that sees this or is it just me? I just don't know for sure except things are different somehow. What do all you guys think and feel inside about things these days?
