It depends on where the wire is being connected on the alternator. It could be the alternator or it could be a damaged wire or connector. It's something that you will need to track down.
Indirectly. The positive cable on the battery is hooked to the starter. The other wire on the starter post goes up to the alternator.
chances are it's the voltage regulatorit could also be a wire no connected on the alternator
take off the belt unplug the wire connector form the back of alternator take the nut off the back of the alternator that holds the wire that is connected to the positive battery terminal and take the two bolts on the bottom of alternator that holds it to the engine
it's a red wire that's connected to your alternator that about half way down turns blue and connects into the starter solinod
All kidding asside, The + side of the battery is connected to the= starter,alternator,solenoids ect ect ect. All kidding asside, The + side of the battery is connected to the= starter,alternator,solenoids ect ect ect.
If this connection is used, it is generally connected to the light in the dash that shows alternator fault (NOT the voltage gauge!) and then through the ignition switch to the positive battery terminal.
run it and then disconnect the negative wire from the battery if alternator dies its bad.
If you have a new alternator its as simple as run the one wire to the solenoid. If you are converting the alternator to a one wire, you will need an external regulator.

Likely a inline type (fuseable link wire) look for a section of wire usually near the battery that is discolored or try to stretch the wire they can burn off or break internaly, test this wire at back of alternator with test light and engine and key off, you should have power at the output terminal as long as the battery cables are connected.
a bad ground wire can ruin an alternator by not completing the circuit
Some 1990s had a fusible link. I am not aware of any with a fuse. The fusible link is between the alternator and the battery, connected with heavy wire. Kind of easy to miss. http://www.marksatterfield.com
