Still stuck!

New Charge Regulator fitted and....no progress. AMP light remains lit with engine running and voltage reading at battery remains stubbornly at 12.5.

1. I have 12 from the AMP light via the yellow cable to the Charge Regulator. I measured this with the yellow cable disconnected from the Charge Regulator.
2. When I reconnect the yellow wire to the Charge Regulator, the voltage reading drops to about 1.6.
3. I get zero reading at the DF connection on the alternator where the green cable plugs in.

I have checked both connections from the Charge Regulator to the alternator and also double checked the earth. All good. Alternator was bench tested by professional and is fine. I also previously very briefly connected the DF terminal to 12v and the alternator put out 14.5v at the battery.

Am "rather frustrated"!
