Perhaps I did not explain this correctly. The alternator creates an AC output
which is rectified to DC for charging the battery. You should not be able to
read any AC voltage on the DC output circuit.

If you have AC voltage on the DC side, it is because a faulty diode is letting
some AC voltage pass through the bridge rectifier. This AC voltage is then
superimposed on the DC voltage, to raise the output voltage high enough to
light the charge light.

Hope that makes it clearer Smile
