Just had alternator rebuilt. It`s a Parris-Rhone on a 1990 Sunrunner. Now can`t shut engine off with ign. switch. Never had this problem before. I know the alternator is getting feedback but how? I placed the connected wires back on the same way they came off. Two wires to the alternator output. One red & a small brown wire that splits off to a purple wire with resistors in it which seems to come from the ignition with 10 volts on it with key on.The red goes to a battery isolator. A purple goes to the exciter terminal. Black to the ground terminal. Have taken alternator back to the shop twice. Nothing is wrong with it. Help.

Re: alternator problem

If it is NOT hooked up wrong

Then the diode is leaking current when it is shut off
