[QUOTE="gte, post: 80693, member: 11537"] It is definitely related. I found something in the electrical manual that shows what that other circuit is for, it's for the "Exciter Circuit" for the dash and also to power the lights and accessories. I had never heard of an exciter before, but I'm guessing it uses the diode so that if voltage from the alternator is not higher than a reference voltage (probably around 12v) and overcome the .7v difference the diode needs to turn on, it triggers that light indicating the alternator is not charging anymore? I'll be testing that and the ground theory tonight. http://s22.postimg.org/q98qbf3kh/john_Deere240_Alternator_Schematic3.jpg [/QUOTE]
