You dont say what happened to make you think that... it's always good to
know. And that you think it is 'miswired' sounds fishy..

Here's the thing... the BIG wire goes to the BIG contact and the BIG wire
leads through one or two terminals to the battery positive post.
It doesnt go THROUGH any relays or switches.

If the BIG wire to the big contact on Alt makes a spark, (or lights a test
lite connected between them) when connecting them, engine not running, you
have a bad alternator.

Whether the other connector on alt is in place, or not.
