Thanks Alan. Are you meaning the actual connections or the power at those wires? I pulled them off and cleaned them before I started messing with the 14pin connector. The terminals were a bit corroded but not real bad. I cleaned them and reinstalled the connectors. No noticable change in the charging issue. Another question for everyone. When I hit the brakes on the car it is a guarantee that I will get a low voltage warning on my radar detector. Do the brakes on these cars really pull alot of amps? Is this normal? Thanks for all the help guys. Jason

Shouldn't happen... its indicative of an issue.. The key is monitoring voltage on these points and figuring out where your voltage drop is happening. Best suspects when the car is running are the jump post, alternator connections and top of the CE panel... or some of the wiring in between... do any of the red wires to the jump post have these IDC/crimp connector marks on them... you can't afford to loose conductor area on any of these - they are really too small already IMO...
