Thanks - it's a 97, but I don't think I have the underhood light? Actually I'm sure I don't because I had to get a flashlight last night to see under the hood. I will still run the check you mentioned - maybe the trunk light stays on or something else annoying like that
After just 40 minutes idling in the driveway it charged up enough to start with no problem this morning. I did notice that when the high speed cooling fan was on I was only getting about 12.9 volts at the battery. Maybe in high heat with both cooling fans and the AC blower on the alternator can't keep up - but the battery light has never come.
