12V conversion problem/question

Posted by LanceM on February 20, 2003 at 16:20:59 from (216.241.128.86):

Hi,
Converted my A to 12V using the directions on this site, very good directions I might add, anyway with the switch off the altenator is still drawing around 300ma, something I found out after the A sat for a couple of weeks with out running and when I needed it the battery was dead.

The question is do I have a bad alt? and

I'm thinking of fixing the problem by switching the wire that goes to term 1 so in the off position it is open also like term 2. Would there be a problem with doing this?

Otherwise it charges great and has worked out to be a very inexpensive conversion for me, just what I needed right now on my work tractor.

Looking forward to some answers/opinions,

Lance
