I've got a 94 with no electricity-drawing farkles. Come to think of it, I'm the only farkle on the machine...
I've read a lot here about the 28 amp alternator problem, so I've checked my voltage a few times, and checked the 6P connector last weekend.
Voltage is fine, and the 6P connections were so clean I wondered if someone replaced the 6P before I bought the machine at 67K (now 77K) miles. For minor reasons unimportant here, I have not yet checked the 3P or 2P connectors from the alternator.
The machine runs fine, but I am concerned about the VRR. After running for about five minutes, and continuously thereafter, the VRR is hot enough to touch that you will instinctively take your finger off in about a second or less. I can gauge oven temperatures pretty well by sticking my hand in, and I know water temperatures from baby-bottle-is-ready to hot tubs and hot springs that take highly experienced enthusiasts 15 minutes to get into.
I'm guessing the temperature on the VRR plastic cover is about 115 ~ 120F. Pretty hot.
Why is my machine OK? Or am I just Wile E. Coyote about to look down?
If it weren't for this forum, I'd be riding a bicycle...
