hey code 41 is "generator field not switching properly" which i had oncewhen i left the lights on anmy battery died. I charged the battery and never had the problem again.which means this code -could- be unrelated to yournon charging issue, but it probably is

yourfield driver circuitmight beshorted
or maybea PCM failure, though i dont think

good luck
