Alternator question

I have appointment tomorrow to get new tires, about 6 miles total driving. I don't want to re-schedule appointment as I need m/h next Monday.

But I'm waiting for elec part to come in. The part is what is called "shortstop" and I couldn't find any locally. Right now my pos and neg are disconnected at house battery and at the converter. All metal ends of battery cables taped up, so no contact with metal.

Question...When driving it, will the charge line under hood sense no power and do damage to alt? Or will charge line sense circuit is not complete not put out power?

In your other post about electrical problems, I suggested, along with others, you visit an auto parts store and buy an auto resetting circuit breaker.

I guess you are soliciting ideas here about your problems and then taking a "shotgun" approach to solving them. But, of course, you're free to do what you wish. The next time you have that "Shortstop" trip and can't find the problem or run your new batteries down to oblivion, you may think again about replacement choices.
