Thanks for the comment. I agree that this wire can have a partial break at the connector and provide reduced ground; and can be broken so that the ground is intermittent.

I don't think that's the case here: The connectors have been replaced; with the wire removed from the alternator, a steady pull did not separate it at the block end - that's my usual test. And the alternator housing has ground.

I probably will remove it from the block side and clean that up just to be safe. Especially as I don't have any other good leads.
