Replaced the regulator and checked the system. The side marker bypass worked well.

When the ignition is on and the engine is either off or at low idle, the light is on. As the rpms slightly increase to fast idle, the light dims and goes off. Perfect.

I really appreciate all the help you guys gave me. I hope other might get something out of this thread also.

O'Reilly's is probably not as happy as I am. The bearings of my original alternator when out so I replaced the alternator with a O'Reillys Ultimate Alternator, which immediately burned out my original regulator and one of theirs. I had them replace the bad alternator and the burnt out regulator. That second regulator screeched like a bad bearing (not bad since there are not bearings in a regulator). The third regulator is working like a charm..............but because of this bad luck, I understand my system and have cleaned up my electrical system.
