Yeah the 11 whatever puzzles me a bit but the alt is outputting the 14.1 read at the positive post of the battery.

Then again the busses that feed the Meter and Engine fuse are powered off the ignition switch power wire that is...............directly tied to the alternator output cable.

I must have been reading the 11.5 the other side of the 50 ohm resistor (two 100 in parallel) or??. No way I'm going to reinstall the S4 alt and resistor(s) to double check that. I KNOW the alt was putting out 14 plus volts at its output terminal plus the volt gauge in the car was on the 14 hash mark.
