      Sounds like this works!

      Hopefully it works for me too...

      69LT1Nova - sounds like you have a totally different problem than I have. Yours sounds to be on constantly, mine has a different voltage from the key in on position compared to off. Off should be 0, but I have .43v.

      Yeah, sounds like you got some sort of funky backfeed in your system from something... I wouldn't doubt it... I had an '80 El Camino that had all sorts of "interesting" electrical problems I had to fix. Those A/G bodies SUCKED for wiring.

      FYI - a majority of my previous electrical problems in the Elky stemmed from the flexible PCB that feeds all the in-dash gauges/lighting. Not cheap to replace though...

      I have a couple of extra flexible circuits I will try a different one when I take it apart to replace some dash lights. I also have extra gauges to try too. Hopefully that fixes it.

      Have you seen this sight.....they don't mention buzzing but it does seem like others are having some issues when using different alternators.

I'll be monitoring the whole deal with my multimeter and the car's voltage gauge. Dead batteries suck!
      Update: it has been a couple of weeks since I cut the wire going to the F terminal. This fixed my problem! Woo-hoo!
