Trying to trace down a drain problem with my batteries. First, should there be any sparks when connecting the positive line from the alternator to the battery switch? With voltmeter on the alternator cable and negative switch terminal, I get about 8 mV reading. There is another smaller wire connected to the positive terminal that appears to be connected to the amp light. This is supposed to furnish the initial trigger for the alternator to start charging. When I remove this wire from the alternator, the sparks disappear when connecting the alt cable to the switch. Could the lamp being out cause this sparking to happen? The wire in question goes through a little device that I cannot find in the wiring diagram. Hopefully, I have given enough information for someone understand.
Oh, the alternator does charge without the idiot light in the circuit.
