If you're considering disconnecting the alternator disconnect one or both field supply wires...the alternator will stop charging. DO NOT JUST DISCONNECT THE ALTERNATORS OUTPUT WIRE while leaving the field wires connected. THIS WILL DAMAGE THE ALTERNATOR'S DIODES. The alternator must be connected to a load when its operating. Just my opinion of course.Try unhooking the alternator and driving it. Just pull the main wire off and tape it up good. The alternator might be causing problems.
