An alternator should put out between 13.6 and 14.4 volts, if not, it is junk.

The other fog light looking switch is probably for your rear fog lights, a requirement in europe and the UK.

what brand alternators are you using ? Some of the guys on this forum have had trouble with Advance or Autozone, also it's quite possible that some of your connections are not good.......such as a corroded ground ( there's more than one ) you should at this point check them all, start at the alt and battery and check everything you can see
