Battery drain issue

Do the same as you did with the battery. Disconnect battery,then alternator,isolate the big wire.start car the shut it off and leave battery connected.
Reason i suggested start car, some faults wont return if its not started.
Have seen alternators do this,under different circumstances.
And in some cases the fault disappears after a battery disconnect.
Nice. This seems easy enough to test. I’ll give that a shot in the morning.
