That would work. I like that idea better

In other words not running and possibly blind. A short in 1 circuit could shut them all down. Probably not fun to just have a short in the headlights shut the engine down.
There is a reason Toyota fed those circuits directly from the alternator and not from the battery. I like to preserve the original intentions as much as possible.

That's exactly what I was looking for. I wanted to make sure I thought of every scenario. I guess if toyota spends big $ on development, it's probably sound. Good call.
Thanks again Bill, I'm loving the new alternator!
