I have a problem with an alternator which is putting too high a volatge into the start battery. I assume the regulator is faulty. I need to run the engine for a short time before removing the alternator for repair, without frying the battery. So I need to disable the alternator somehow.
Will removing the ignition switch/indicator lamp wires stop the alternator working, or do I need to remove the battery connection as well. The alternator is Hitachi, connections are Bat+, Bat-, L and R.
