Greetings... A friend of mine has a MF 202 (think that's what she said) that always has the battery running down.

Can the alternator function properly or charge at all without the "sense" line and the "exciter field tap" wire connected? (Had no idea of the proper names until just a few hours ago) Just wondering.

Thanks.
