Uh huh. It's either an alternator dying, though they usually just go and not<br><div class="gmail_quote">on/off like that, or a connector loose/corroded, or like John says, the alternator<br>has come loose.<br><br>Wish I'd had a bit more time to implement my Maxima alternator upgrade so
<br>I could tell you if that would work or not. I've been through so many alternators<br>on my three SE-Rs that I just couldn't bring myself to simply replace another<br>one without trying something new.<br><br>
Maybe I will go out to the garage and build the harness adapter right now. If
<br>I could fit the car in there I'd do the whole job tonight, but I can't, and it's way<br>too cold to spend the night outside on a car I won't drive again for months.<br><font color="#888888"><br>-Mark<br>

Either the alternator is going bad or there is something wrong with<br>the connection. It could be that the alternator bolt worked itself<br>loose or was not tightened sufficiently, and your alternator is<br>dancing around in between belts now. Ask me how I know.
