Thanks for the reminder. I forgot to mention that in my post.

When I 1st looked at it, the alternator housing had a weak ground (test light between battery + and the housing). The wire itself had ground.

I removed the wire from the back of the alternator housing, removed the nut that anchors the stud to the housing, cleaned all items, placed a small copper washer* on the stud, tightened the 1st nut against it, replaced the ground wire and the harness clip. Now I had a good ground on the alternator housing.

*I have a box of copper washers specifically for this purpose.
