Faulty battery, bad alternator, or both (photos)
Well I'm back at it.
After looking at wires and such, I thought I better inspect the engine bay/ fender mounted ballast resistor since this part always seems to be a "gotcha".
I noticed I had wires that weren't checking out in terms of continuity from the bulkhead connector to the steering column connecter for the ignition.
PRIOR to changing out the ballast, I was NOT getting continuity in the (L to R) Black, Brown, Orange, and Blue (2nd from right) wires.
AFTER swapping the ballast, the only wires that don't show continuity are the Brown and Blue (2nd from right).
Hmmm....
Here is what the old one looks like compared to the new one I bought:

AND I decided to check my battery. Threw it on the charger and it was only at 25% ?!
