alternator question
Forgive me for creating a new thread, I could not find an appropriate one to resurrect.
My question is, I see people talking about turning off this electrical component and the other... killing the day time running lights, etc... My understanding has always been that the alternator runs continually? In fact the battery runs out pretty fast if it does not since it needs to run spark... So why would it matter if you are running more electricity in your car?
Doesn't the alternator always have the same load on the engine regardless?
