You weren't hallucinating Kaleb, the military (not just LT, but the WHOLE MILITARY), using their experience with electronics, actually made it LOOK like the alternator was bad when really, it was just a slipping belt. They had had an elaborate scheme where by you were supposed to ignore the loose belt and then the car would leave you stranded in a less than friendly neighborhood, where you would be shot and killed by locals. This would wipe the eliminate any culpability the military had in your death. Somehow, you escaped their vile plan, but you have been warned - they're coming after you!

How would a slipping belt have any effect on the car when the engine is not running? I yield to your vast military experience on that one. He said the light stays on when the key is turned off and the engine is not running. I guess its a slipping belt. Every time I have had that happen to me the alternator was screwed. I must have been hallucinating.
