Thanks, guys. I have taken a preliminary look over some parts of the wiring but have not found anything suspicious yet. I will take a closer look when I get a chance and do some follow-up.
However, in regard to the charging current being too high from a running car, how can this be true? You can't force current into something. The battery has to be drawing the current. I'm not an electrical physicist, but won't the battery only draw what it's able to draw?
