This probably has something to do with why your alternator is not completely shutting off. Here is the important part:

Thanks for the link, that's also a good read, but I was hoping that the grounding method would provide a more simple way to achieve alternator shut off than having to disable 2 wires, also i've heard from some ecomodders that have done the 2 wire shutoff as described in your link and that didn't work either.

We don't know for sure yet if the grounding of the alternator control wire still charges but at a lower 12.5volt rate, or if its actually working.

Any good ideas to test the alternator output to verify if it is still charging but at a lower rate? Would that light bulb between the alternator and battery ground work like I suggested trying?
