a bad ground wire can ruin an alternator by not completing the circuit
2 wire has a live wire to energise the field where as the single wire alternator self energises and does not need the powered feed.
From $85 to $135 depending on if the alternator is remanufactured or new.
135 amp
This wire allows the alternator to keep the battery charged.
It is the wire that supplies the initial field current to the alternator from the battey. Once the alternator is rotating the field current will be provided by the diodes from the current produced by the alternator. excitor wire is usually wired through the charging indicator light.
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.
