Hello all, I have an 85 300d. My battery started dying on me and I replaced the alternator twice now. I am noticing the battery light, brake pad indicator and brake light no longer turn on when I switch the key to the on position. I believe this is preventing the alternator from energizing due to the posts I read explaining the importance of the blue wire coming from the alternator that is connected to the 3w dash bulb for battery. My bulb is good. My dummy lights only come on very sporadically and when they work my alternator charges the battery. Any way to bypass this or is there a work around ? Any helpb would greatly be appreciated. Thanksgiving is tomorrow and at this moment my road trip is definitely off. :-(

......forgot to mention my glow plug light and all my guages and dash lights are functioning with key
