I'm not going to say it's not the alternator, but my truck (2001 F250 with the camper special option) has 2 alternators, so which one is bad and why would they both go at the same time? Of course I'm not sure if they are connected in parallel or not.
I do agree it's not a bad relay but whatever is controlling the relay, but what is that???

Gawd I hate to admit this because I opened the flippin hood and tugged to check the batteries before anything else.

Loose negative. It didnt feel loose. He said he tightened the ever loving **** out of it and it lit right up.
End of story.
Pardon me while I go dent the wall with my forehead.

Well good, If the connection has been loose long, you may have some corrosion build up and may want to clean them all good to prevent future problems.
