Primary alternator seems to be working fine. I manually turn off the standby alternator switch and noticed no difference in electrical operation. Voltages remains steady at 28V and it seems no change in amps.

Noticed in the summer sometimes I had the standby alternator light come on and then eventually went off. I turn the switch on and off and it remained off but now it’s on steady until I turn the switch off manually.
