Been working on my Lynx and can't get the "Amp" light to go out. Battery is good, bought a new voltage regulator for it, had the alternator tested and that came back fine, but tried another alternator as well and nothing has worked, it kills the battery every time..

If the alt is good and the battery is good, then there has to be a break down between the two which is not allowing power to get from the alt to the battery. Have you checked the fusible link? If it is bad, the alt can't recharge the battery.

Let me know.

Not fusible links. Positive and ground battery wires are good..Don't know what else it could be..

How was the fusible link checked? There really isn't any thing other that would cause this.
