I wound up replacing both connector and alternator(again). I wasn't absolutely sure that the alternator itself wasn't involved and my local Autozone was unable to bench test the old unit. I certainly didn't want to put a bad alternator back, given the difficulty of the task.
Yes, defiently check that connector out. I just got done having issues with mine. It seems that if it sags and gets to close to the exhaust the cheap plastic connector will malfunction.
