I've done a lot of searching and seen various bits of electro-oddities, and now I'm sharing mine - need y'all's help to get me back on the road 
My '03 DHS has 225k miles (on the ODO anyway). Today, apart from the usual littany of christmas tree lights on the dash, I noticed some new ones "Service Charging System", "Battery Low". Uh-Oh! So I turned off the AC & radio and prayed I would make it to my work... I didn't. I had to pull off into any empty lot in the ghetto. In a decent Caddy with doors that can't lock. :suspense: Tried to turn it over a couple times and just heard clicking.
I tried jumping the car twice - it started twice, then promptly died. So I had it towed home. The battery is correct Duralast replacement w vent tubes, and looks brand new. Ditto the main terminal connecting cables. No corrosion. Just for kicks I pulled the neg. cable, shined up the chassis ground end, scraped the paint at the bolt mounting point, and cleaned up the bolt.
Interior lights came on bright right away when I hooked it up to a jumper car. So I pulled the codes:
Current CODES 6/8/15
ABS C1277 Requested Torque Signal Circuit Malfunction
DDM B3832 Window Position Sensor Circuit (??)
IPC U1000 Class 2 Communication Malfunction
IPM B0429 Temperature Control #3 Rear Circuit Range/Performance
PCM P0410 Secondary Air Injection (AIR) System
PCM P0560 . Sys Voltage Error
PCM P0562 . Sys Voltage Lo
PCM P0741 TCC System Stuck Off
PCM P1571 TCS PWM Circ No Frequency
PCM P1860 TCC PWM Solenoid Circuit Electrical
PDM B3832 Window Position Sensor Circuit
No VTD Codes
Then I turned the key over and started right up. I circled the 'hood a few times checking things out. There was an annoying RR Door Ajar bells going off. After I closed the door (incidentally the one I had open to jump the car), it still kept going off - I'm guessing this was a 'phantom pain' the car felt after the battery circuit was hooked up again?) Another odd thing- not sure if its coincidental but my LF headlight is now out, but parking lights OK. After .7 miles, "Service Charging System", "Battery Low" came back on so I bee-lined it for the house and made it time before everything shut down.
Anyway, I tend to think the alternator is bad...any consensus?
Other background weirdness on the car (had it for two months now)
When I got it, only the passenger front window worked, the rest had chairlegs, 2x4's etc. holding up the windows. I bought the new regulators. When testing them one at a time, all worked. But when I buttoned all the doors up - The RR window goes up/down haltingly, and the LR doesnt work at all - I only hear a click. Also, I have to roll down the front window to open the door - I did not have to do this when there was no door panel on. Key wont open the door either, so I dare not lock it.
Codes I pulled back then:
Current CODES 4/27/15
ABS C1233 RF Wheel Speed Circuit Open or Shorted
IPC U1000 Class 2 Communication Malfunction
IPM B0429 Temperature Control #3 Rear Circuit Range/Performance
PCM P0410 Secondary Air Injection (AIR) System
PCM P0741 TCC System Stuck Off
PCM P1860 TCC PWM Solenoid Circuit Electrical
RFA C0750 Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) System Sensor Not Transmitting
Thanks for your guidance!!
