<VV> Wiring

[Rnojunkmail at aol.com]

Battery is connected but when I bought the car several months ago the battery would die if left connected overnight. I was in the middle of looking for a short when my new clock came in the mail so I couldn't resist putting it in. One thing I did notice when probing with the test light was that the 12 g red wire from the alternator was grounded. It splits off to a connector screwed to a plastic piece near the battery. Shouldn't that thick wire connected to the alternator be hot?
