QUESTION: What happens when you have an engine
running and inadvertently or purposely flip OFF the cut-off
switch??? Won't that pretty much blow your alternator
as all the books warn you to never disconnect the battery
while the engine is running??

Seems the circuit is getting completed somehow. Did the bonnet installation
expose any wiring by mistake?
???
