A few years ago I found out I was able to unhook one of the 2 wires that plugs into the side of my alternator and kill alt out put on my car.
That alternator went bad and was rebuilt this year by a local alt and starter shop and I installed it in my suburban. Yesterday I started messing with the side wires trying to figure out which one I need to "cut" to do an alt disable, I started unplugging one wire or the other, then pulled both and nothing happens. It still kept putting out 14.4 volts.
I think the car had a diode in the battery charging lead.
