It had been in the rain for several hours and it would fail immediately with an overload condition, before the load switch was even available
I have been told this is due to moisture...
If there was a "dead short" all kinds of exciting things would be happening.
How many volts from the output terminal of the alt and ground when running?
How many volts from the IGN terminal on the alt and ground when running?
