Yes, I put the resistor inline to the #1 terminal from the ignition switch. I only use the resistor by itself. Lots of guys use the light or diode & get by. Your alternator problems could be caused by the brushes being worn or maybe the diode trio being bad. Our 1460 alternator had 2 of the 3 feed strips melted when we were getting it ready for the field last fall---no obvious reasons for it to happen. You can take the alternator apart & see what is going on inside. Test the diode trio using an analog meter on Rx1 scale. Should read ~ 30 to 40 ohms in one direction & infinity with the leads reversed checked at all 3 terminals to the single lead going to the regulator. This is done with the diode trio removed. If brushes/ brush holder is bad, it will be evident. Hope this helps--these alternators are pretty reliable as a general rule--you just have a small problem somewhere.
