Out of boredom, I took apart the alternator to figure out what was wrong with it. I guess I scared it, cause when it went back together, it worked fine.

I put a relay on the field circuit, and now I have a switchable alternator. I'll have to see how far I can go without it. When it tested it, I was amazed that I could in fact feel a difference between alternator and no alternator.
