I think that's what basically was happening when I pulled the fuse in the first test. The O2 sensors, speed sensor, and evap emissions stuff still on the circuit when I tested it originally were doing the same as a bulb would do and that worked. It seemed that loading the power wire down does significantly weaken the alternator. I'll swing by the store and pick up a bulb, maybe the bulb will work better then my direct short that appeared to make the regulator go nuts.
I'll take some video with a scope hooked up.
