The simple way to test the isolator, if the alternator is working, is to connect the negative lead of your meter to the plate that the isolator is mounted on and probe the 3 terminals of the isolator.

The center terminal should be around 14.7 volts and the other two should be .7 volt lower or around 14.0.

Note: If you also have a combiner installed, disconnect the damn thing before taking any measurements.
