Your problem is either a short or over current.
Edit, I see Vettevet posted while I was typing but we are pretty much saying the same thing it would be good to know what type of alt you have.

<hyjackie> "resistor" explain please. my truck has been converted to internal reg alt. and the rewire looks "ok" other than the two that you cross at the old reg plug. they just snipped them.
but what is this about a resistor, the alt in it is a basic 63 amp (and 15 volts at idle)
but I have a new 84 t/a ho 96amp waiting..
