My car recently stalled due to low battery... which caught me by
surprise because the batt light was NOT on at this point.   I opened up
the hood and noticed one of the wires on the Field current connector to
the alternator was broken off.  This probably happened while I was
messing with the alternator to install a new belt.  I repaired this
(temporarily) by using a butt connector, placing a long stripped end of
wire into one of the terminals of the plug where it meets the
alternator.

My car now seems to run fine.. HOWEVER.. now, the battery, ABS and
BRAKE lights are all on all the time!  I used a digital voltmeter, and
found voltage at the battery to be 14.1 with the engine running... and
12.something with the engine off.  Anyone know what could cause such a
weird problem?

Thanks a lot!

well, if that's the only change you made before this happened, it has
to be the connector right? anything short out to another wire while
splicing?
