Delco 10SI alternators normally has three connections on it. A large wire for the output to the battery, a two wire connector stamped on the alternator with #1 and #2. 2 should have 12 volts all the time, 1 should have voltage when the key is on only. 2 is the external sense to the regulator for sampling the system voltage. It could also be sampled internally depending on the particular alternator system. If the shop checking the alternator used an external source on the #2 connection a broken internal connection inside the alternator would be missed.
