If the amp meter reads 11, it will be 11 amps, not volts. If it reads to the right towards + on the front side of the gauge, it is hooked up backwards, and should read discharge. There are good reasons to think that the Plus sign should be connected to the starter switch, but it is usually not. If the light switch is not getting power (wired as shown) the wire is bad, or the terminals are bad or the switch is bad or the power is there but the lights are bad or not grounded.
If the switch you show is also the ignition switch there needs to be a diode in the line going to the alt. If it is just a switch, and is just used to energize the alt all is well with it.
The system should not draw 11 amps when it is not running, (or when it is) there may be other issues. Let me know about the switch use. Jim
