s34n is an unknown quantity at this point
I used a Black & Decker car battery charger and it has a self alternator tester. The tester works by putting the neg and posit cable to the terminals. Then start the car and wait for it to program itself. Then a green light would pop up showing that the alternator is good. If its bad it would turn red. Not sure if that alternator tester is accurate and i know that there's another way to test an alternator.

And yes im not really good at electrical, the fact that its one of the hardest task in the automotive world. That's why i said that it's "fine" because im not sure of the tester.
I know that i drove my 40 around alot and i don't see anything wrong with the alternator.

Another thing that i found is that there's a thick red wire and a thin black wire that's cut and its just dangling around in the side of the engine bay (left side when looking at the engine bay) I can't trace it. Also i got a red and black wire inside my trunk just hanging out.My friend said that both the wires in the front and trunk is for sounds and stereo.

Could that cause some grounding?? I'll post a pic later
