    That is weird for sure. Almost sounds like a diode was installed backwards. I don't have any wiring diagrams for this vehicle, but I can't believe they used something other than a bridge rectifier in the alternator. If that were the case you would have a one-in-four chance of installing a diode backwards.

    Did you buy the alternator at Auto Zone or one of those mass marketer places that sells cheap Chinese crap?

    No a local spot that rebuilds alternators.
