I suspect you have your electric fan wired so it runs at all times when the ignition switch is on. At night, I'd doubt my fan would even come on, except at a long stoplight. The electric fan uses an amazing ammount of amperage. You may consider either a thermal or manually controlled switch to control the fan, particularly at night if your charging system is close to the edge. As they say-it's just my $0.02.

I re-read your reply to me and I think I caught something I missed earlier regarding jumper diagnosis and a bad winding. Hmmmm, this confirms my suspicion that the alternator is the culprit. That is good news, since it is still under warranty and easy to test.
9:00 pm and still 75 degrees out. Cobra sits. Damn.
