I started the big fan up front for the first time this weekend and was running through a bunch of checks to make sure everything was operating like it should. Something that caught my eye was that when the engine was NOT running and the Alternator field switch was moved to on, my Vertical Power would show that the Alternator was drawing 4.4 amps. I am not an Electrical Engineer so I do not know the specifics on how or why this would happen but my question is Should it be happening? Just from how I see it doenst make sense on why it would draw so many amps when it is not doing anything, unless it is powering the Voltage Regulator.
Probably a dumb question but I figured I would ask before I fried something.
