hey guys thanks for the help...
my electrical setup is using an internally regulated alternator.
is this situation normal?
car is off. take battery - undo both cables. use voltmeter between battery and negative cable (like examples above). and connect wire from positive termal to the #2 (voltage-sensing) terminal on alternator. My voltmeter jumps to around 12.5 (charge of battery). Does this mean the alternator is drawing 12.5 volts from the battery even when not running?
Thanks again,
Doug
