I need to ground the input to the regulator when not in use i.e. ground the yellow wire.
I think a relay that is grounded on the NC side and then fed the field voltage/idiot light voltage when activated should do the trick. So when not in use the alternator field windings are not fed any voltage and cannot 'pick up' any voltage!! |
Did you manage to get it working? This sounds like a great mod to use wasted energy to keep the battery charge.
