Perhaps my issue might be that I have disconnected the generator from the car/battery while I am performing my testing it’s output, and “re-polarizing” my gen (gen has no power connected to it while o have been doing this). I suspect the battery power has to be connected to the “battery” side of the factory cut out relay when re-polarizing. THEN By jumping/shorting (with battery power available) across both terminals of the relay will actually do something?
