This problem is driving me nuts! (87 N/A)

Sometimes my alternator doesn't spin up, and all I get is 9V. But most days the alternator kicks in either A) immediately or B) after 5-10 minutes of driving.

Now here's where the paranoia helps me draw conclusions that might be crazy...

The one thing that seems to always be present when the alternator doesn't want to work is: rain. And the days in which it runs okay are rain-less.

Now, does rain have anything to do with it? My assumption is that the moisture somehow causes the belt to slip. Or perhaps rain leaks in somewhere and shorts something.

thanks in advance!
