[DML] "Cooling Fan Failure" Light

["jedimasterglenn" <jedimasterglenn@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, today was the big day.  I bought my D 3 months ago and finally 
got it out of the shop and onto the road for my first drive!  And the 
fun began immediately...

Whenever I hear the cooling fan come on, the "Cooling Fan Failure" 
warning light on the control console lights.  When the fan goes off, 
it goes off.  The temp seems fine when the fan is off or on.  Is this 
a common quirk or should I investigate the fans?  My voltage indicator 
is running really low too.  I've been advised by my mechanic that I 
may need a new altenator.  Could a failing altenator and the warning 
light be related?  

Lastly, if I do end up purchasing a new altenator, should I go with a 
higher amp model (SpecialTAuto.com has pretty beefy looking ones) or 
should I saty with the stock replacement?

Thanks,
Glenn
