I have searched the picture site without any luck. The pics im looking for may be there im just not finding them.
What im looking for are pictures of the interior of the bedroom, specifically the back wall, with all of the interior trim removed.
I want to see where all of the supports run. And if anyone has pictures showing where theyve had water running that would be GREAT.. I have water coming in somewhere around the back window, it runs from where the headliner meets the bottom plastic about 3/4 of the way down the window.
i have put in new clearance lights and gaskets which slowed the flood ALOT but this last little trickle is driving me crazy

This photo shoot tells you some of what you might want to know. You may see some of the interior rear shots that show the inside without the trim. At the end of the set, there are some photos that show how I put 1/4" vacuum hose in the crack outside, between the main body and the rear window section to stop the leaks I had found prior to the headliner job. I think there is a very good probability that your leaks are from that exact same area, and will be solved by the same technique.
I hope this helps some.

ok, Great information from you guys, and FAST as usual.
Now if any of you would come to Greenville and go to work for me for a week or two, i can devote some time to projects. that would be great.
It looks like ill try the Vaccum tube as a sealer first to see if that helps. By looking at the pictures its a huge possibility that is where my trickle is coming from.

lets give this a shot, you can look at this diagram
http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/showphoto.php?photo=3731&cat=3254
the big red wire is the output of the alternator and goes to the center
terminal of the diode isolator.
the small black wire comes out of the little plastic connector and goes to a
10 ohm, more than 40 watt resistor, which is connected to the ACC portion of
the Ignition switch. (Do not use a 100 ohm resistor here because this will
not supply the 2 amps, and your alternator may not start up for 3 to 10
minutes every time ;>)
This wire supply's 2 amps to the alternator to get it running and should
contain a diode (the APC cable will do this ,shown in green) . The diode
here keeps the alternator (when it goes bad) from feeding 100 volts back to
the nichrome resistor which will melt the other wires in the harness. This
diode also stops your alternator light from glowing dim from other false
indications. The 77/78 diode was put in by GMC to stop these false
indications, but was in the wrong place to protect from an alternator
failure.
The last wire goes to the battery to give the alternator a reference voltage
to eliminate any voltage drop due to the isolator diodes.
A very good design by GMC that works well and causes no problems unless
there is a catastrophic alternator failure, and then the APC protects the
wiring from this failure.
finally
your alternator light should not glow dim (with the APC)...... something
wrong there.
I think The alternator (the standard humungus Delco with internal
regulator) has a wire coming out that is connected directly to the voltage
regulator supply. This wire goes to the warning light, which is switched
ignition power.
nope, the 10 resistor does this
The current through the light is expected to provide enough field current
to wake up the alternator.

not really, many have failed in this use, better to use a combiner, it has
many other useful features and only takes 10 min to install

this is easy-- good luck

Or you could go to the "help" rack at your local auto parts store and buy
the correct pigtail with a captive prong (to keep the plug from falling
out) which you can then either splice in or remove the wire tails and put
your female spade connectors into. More sanitary.

Posted from Emory's alternator issue.
I also had a 6 month old NAPA alternator that was putting out 18 volts.
Had it tested at NAPA and it tripped out the test equipment twice.
Got a new alternator on warranty.
My plug from the APC would could go on either way. I replaced with new
connector cover so it fits only in the correct position.
