Well heck. I performed your test. All lights burned solid, and no jiggling of the switch would affect lights. I re-attached the wire to the alt, and started the engine. 14V output of alt.!! During this job, I peeled back the protective original protective cover past the driver side of engine, installed a new protective loom, and lengthened the batt wire for ease of installation. The car works fine now, but I am uneasy because I found no issue to point to that caused the malfunction.
I fear it is an intermittent problem that will visit me again.
But thanks for the tips. I have a better understanding of the system function now.
