Default Re: Alternator issue

I have had it running, with a noticeable 'charge' on the ammeter. Even now, when running, the 'charge' overcomes the minor 'discharge'. It's only when not running does this become an issue. Switch off, lights off, but still a minor discharge on the battery. If I undo the belt, should the alternator try to spin if the 'diodes' are bad? I haven't tried that yet.....
