Generator polarity shouldn't be able to do that, since it eventually gets c=
onnected to the battery=2E Normally the battery is much stronger, so the ge=
nerator gets automatically polarized every time the cutout closes (and the =
red light goes out)=2E
It's not a particularly good idea to switch polarity that way (lots of vio=
lence at the cutout contacts when the generator fights the battery), but it=
does work (if the contacts survive)=2E
I keep an assortment of "burned out" headlight bulbs for tests like this=
=2E The low beam filament always burbs out first, which leaves the high bea=
m filament functional as a roughly 5 amp load=2E
There are other possibilities, but ammeter polarity is still the first thi=
ng I would check=2E
