Sounds like a short to me. If you disconnect the battery, all of a sudden it's putting out the correct voltage at the starter solenoid. That eliminates the alt. and ITS wiring right there.

Not familiar with the PAP unit, is it internally regulated, or do you have an external regulator on that? I had that exact problem, and figured out my external regulator wasn't wired correctly. Fixed that, and buddah bing, 14volts at the battery in my hatch.
