The alternator light circuit is different from the charging part. The charging part goes to the battery, while the light part goes to the instrument panel. There seems to be a grounded wire in the light circuit.

Disconnect the battery. Remove the air inlet tube. On some s10s, there is a bracket above the alternator that needs to be removed. Take off the serpentine belt. Remove the alternator wiring, then the bolts. Remove the alternator and install the new one.
