But the fact that you still had a current leak of 4 volts when the alternator was fully disconnected says to me the alternator is either not the problem or not the only problem. Getting only 4 volts indicates a high resistance somewhere.
I'm wondering about your ignition switch, is it new or used? OEM style in dash or attached to the steering column? How many connectors on it? If you unplug it does the rest of the current leak stop?
There is a possibility the new wire harness has issues, but it sounds like you were careful with it and assuming a factory flaw on a name brand kit maybe a stretch

It still draws 4v when the plugs containing the 2 small wires is removed but the wire going between the alternator and battery is still connected.
It is a new ignition switch, oem style in the dash from LMC. I will look further into the ignition switch next
