REcently had a problem with the pigtail conmnector on the right side of my alternator. The mechanic replaced it but didn't soldier the connections properly. Now I get intermitent charging. My daughter was driving at night and the head lights died. When I jiggle the wires, the alternator starts charging. Question, Is this a connector problem or a bad alternator. The mechanic is going to replace the connector again (at no charge) but I'm wodering if there is a more serious problem lurking.
