Next time lamp test fails (warning lights need to light in KP-II engine not running) even when it is warm, pull the small red wire connector off of the spade lug at the alternator and ground* it. Do the lights now work? Problem is in the alternator or its ground wire. Wear some leather gloves so you don't burn your knuckles on the manifold.

*Don't ground it to the alt case. Get a long jumper wire and ground it at a known good ground, such as the braided wire between firewall and cam cover.
