Default Help! I need an electrical genius...

I've got a mysterious electrical leak. After I charge the battery the car will run fine for awhile. Then things start to happen: wipers slow, lights dim, radio shuts off, etc. Classic alternator symptoms. So I have the alternator tested, and it's perfect. When tested in the car, the alternator is definately charging. The wiring from the alternator to the battery checks out OK. I've pulled every fuse (radio, windows, sunroof, etc.) to check for leaks, and the same thing happens. What gives?

Make sure your altrernator belt is the proper tightness. If its to loose, you can have these symtoms.
