Indeed, but you won't know if the right amount of current is flowing. OK to
detect a full break in the circuit, but not a high-resistance connection.
It will almost certainly stop the OD engaging anyway, so you won't know
whether it is 'normal' or a fault condition, unless you happen to notice it
change brightness. But it will be doing *that* anyway, as the alternator
output varies.
