Negative amps? Not likely.
How are you measuring current?
If shunt resistor, swap the ammeter leads.
If Hall effect device, check your documentation (there are more than a
couple of flavors).

Subject: REFLECTOR: LIGHTWEIGHT ALTERNATOR
I have the L-60 Lightweight Alternator and solid-state regulator from B&C.
I fired up my engine (IO-540) and it sounds great!
One problem: When I switch the field on and off, the low voltage light
works as expected. But when the alternator is "ON" I am getting no
indication of a "charge" condition.
When I switch on the landing light (or anything else electrical) . I get
negative amps - although the voltage remains at 12+ .
The wiring is correct . any ideas?
I know my battery was very low . but I didn't think that would affect the
output of the alternator to the bus.
You feedback is welcomed!
