I have this 94 Volvo 940 and I put a switch on the alt exciter wire. With the switch off, start car. Alt is off. no charging.....I switch on the Alt and the motor stumbles and I get 14 volts. Turn off the alt and it continues to charge. Un hook the exciter wire and the Alt keeps charging. How do I make the Alt stop charging? SC
