I fooled with it a bit more and sure enough when I disconnnected the wire and reset the swtich I would get power and the motor would turn over. When I would out the wire back on it would pop.

So I am guessing new alternator but I thought I would ask and see if anyone has had this problem and maybe there is something I am missing.

Any advice would be help.
Few questions. I/O?? Single wire alt?? "Backflows" to the battery? Is this the single charging wire that goes to your batts?? Not sure what you mean by backflow? "When I would out the wire back on it would pop" Lost me here?? I can defintely point ya in the right direction just trying to figure the whole thing out.
