I haven't heard of any systemic problems with our electrical systems other than minor gremlins.

etlsport put a high output altenator on his & always has a warning light on & hasn't found a fix yet.

A couple of owners have taken their VX 'swimming' & toasted their altenators so we know they don't like that.

Some of the undercarriage weatherproof connectors ... aren't, but those are tranny, TOD & ABS related.

There is a wiring harness located under the hood on the passenger fender wall that is subject to chaffing over time but I can't remember what symptoms that exhibits.

It's not a good idea to pressure wash the engine. Some members have noted that water can puddle in the spark plug wells & short out the plug. Easy fix tho - just dry it out & try not to spray there again.

The bottom line is that you are approaching the fix correctly: new battery - nope that wasn't it; new altenator - should fix the problem.

Sorry to hear that you are having problems so soon after getting it. Hope this is the last of the problems for a while. Let us know if the altenator fixes the problem.
