According to the wiring schematics there's a 400mm long braid somewhere. On my L322 its at the bottom front right of the engine near the alternator to the nearby body.

						I got the car back from Auto Elec
Said Alternator had gone and shorted earth.
Said it really should not of happened.

He said Earth strap looked good although added a extra to be sure.
Was not cheap to fix around $1400 I think gen Alternator alone. Thought to go aftermarket prob should offHalf the price or less
Cost us now over $5k in the last few months
Good result. Denso oem alternator retails for around 700bucks, takes an hour or two to fit. Given they squeezed you in in a hurry and were able to get an alternator in time, and add an extra earth, final cost is not too bad

						SubscriberAlternator failing is not uncommon or the short to ground, but normally that manifests itself in other ways. Glad you have it resolved
