Default 13 VDC switch

Others can do what they want. Personally I want a finished "plug-in,
easy to use" product and not a lifetime hobby of playing with
alternator circuits, or whatever.

Ok, I'm operating from memory, but if the objective is to turn "on" only
when the alternator is active, trigger your switch with the stator output -
should be 0 when the alterntor is inactive, and about 1/2 the output voltage
when the alternator is charging. A 6 volt relay would do the job, eh?
