OK....now I am really confused. Everything seems to have healed itself. After recharging the battery, it has been fine now for three excursions (close to home since I don't trust it yet!). I am really thinking there is something shorting out in the wiring harness somewhere in the car, but it only happens intermittently. The wires to the idiot light and to the amp gauge have all been replaced. There must be a gremlin somewhere else in the soup.
