Tonight I reinstalled my binnacle and my battery light stayed on. I thought it might be a connector, but then when the fans came on the battery light went out and it started charging.
Anybody familiar with this type of issue?

1/2 mile from my house my clutch pedal went to the floor....feels like it's not connected to anything. Fluid level is A-OK.

Sounds like a bad master cylinder or bad slave cylinder.

I was thinking that, although my master is :newly rebuilt" and the slave is "new." Maybe I screwed up the rebuild...

No, bad batteries don't hold a charge.
Clearly you have a good battery if it spun the engine to start it.
The light staying ON means the alternator was not charging. How old is how old is the alternator? What was the Volt gauge showing when the engine was running while the batt light was ON?

Volt gauge was showing 12V at first, then 13.5V (with the battery light on.)
The alternator was a month-old rebuilt. It tested bad, I got a warranty replacement and all is well again....

Great, was it a locally sourced alternator or the DMCH version of the CS130?
