I have a '98 Continental...my battery indicator light will flash & then will stop flashing on an intermittent basis. I noticed after connecting a voltmeter & wiggling the alternator electrical connector, that the voltage will change on the meter and the battery indicator light will flash...it mimics exactly what occurs when driving.
It appears as though the connector needs replaced. My question is: Can these electrical connectors fail on their own, OR is it more likely that someone may have removed this connector haphazardly by possibly tugging on the wires to get it removed from the alternator?
I'm assuming that any electrical connector can fail on its own over time...from oil, grease, corrosion, etc.?
