Does it get the response you want, and in an efficient way?

I'd check the Factory Service Manual on this point before
condemning Haynes on it. Haynes is not the best, but it's
far from wholly wrong. I'd check...

All responses much appreciated!
That being said...drove the car today. Whine is significantly diminished
from yesterday and no "idiot" lights on the instrument panel. I did notice
the SRS light appearing at completely random fashion, and that too
disappeared after an hour or so of stop and go driving.
In my limited experience, I'll blame the 3 inches of rain we had here on
Long Island and a wet engine compartment for the bizarre series of
events.Maybe, maybe not.
IF however, any of the symptoms recur...to the dealer it goes.
Thanks again. This group has been of great assistance to me over the years.

I depend on both. Often, the verbiage is more understandable in the
Haynes but confusion can result due to the dual US/UK coverage.

Just another thought...if the alternator was bad wouldn't the electrical
warning light come on??
