Why is the sense wire of a one wire alternator going through the ignition  
circuit? It should go ONLY to the battery. 
 
And on more conventional alternator circuits, the idiot light connects to  
the ACC terminal through the lamp. Again, not to the ignition circuit.

Dorai,
It sounds like the P.O. installed a one wire alternator to  upgrade the
charging system.  The alternator is back feeding the car  via its sense wire.
You need to install a pretty fat diode in this wire to  block the back
circuit.  Radio Shack has several such diodes to choose  from.  BTDT
