Hi Bill,

There's 2 other terminal connectors that are bolted on the big one, the one that goes on the battery positive post. There's one terminal connector with a single wire on it and an other one with 7 wires crimped together, 6 red and 1 yellow.
The current drain is coming from the BIG wire, not those ones.

Are you sure that the big red wire is going to both starter and alternator?

According to KlausC, I should read 14.4V but I have only 13.6V and I'm starting to believe that the alternator is defective and like the starter, it's the original one.
