I’ve be fighting a version of your problem.  I replaced my alternator (5wire set up) with a Moss Motors (3 wire set up) and been trying to find a very small power leak.  I currently think it is in the voltage regulator that is built into the alternator, my next move to replace the alternator.

I would check your ammeter gage then check your alternator output.

Good luck, we might be dealing with the same problem.

Thanks

Stephen

I have been chasing an electrical problem for the past 45 years on my Marcos.

I have re-wired the car completely, added relays checked and reconditioned all of the chassis earth points and replaced all bullet and sleeve connectors with new stainless steel B and S connectors and applied dielectric grease to all fuses and connector.  

My AMMETER is always indicating a 10 to 15 amp charge while driving, DAY OR NIGHT. I have a built in regulator in the alternator which was installed at the time of rebuild.

The alt is a MOTOROLA SEV.

Anyone have any ideas? 

 


Regards,

Larry
