With the switching mechanism you have developed, I don't think my setup will work. That's because whenever I turn my alt on while driving, putting the switch back into the off position does not actually turn the alt off until I also shut off the engine via the injector kill switch. Until I do that the alternator itself, spinning, is recharging its field windings. So with your setup, everytime you switch the alt back on, it gets into that state where only shutting off the engine will stop the spinning alt from recharging its own field windings. The ELD system really seems to complicate this mod on these cars. There are four of us now with variations on this idea, all finding it a bit of a challenge.
