Just 'fixed' that problem here. Mine was a fuse wire - the one on the
end of fat read wire coming from the alternator. If you follow the
wires, the wire from the alternator goes to a bolt on the relay. A
wire from that same bolt goes to the battery, so (at least in my
setup) the alternator is hard wired to the battery. In my case, the
fuse wire had parted right at the crimp inside the rubber boot so that
the usual 'if it stretches it's broke' test didn't show it. Measure
both ends of that fuse wire.
I've also seen setups where there were two fuse wires: one from the
alternator to the distribution point and a second from there to the
battery. Murphy rules - it's the one you can't see that breaks ;-(

but will that couse the "nut" on the relay to give a Beep on a test to
ground?
isnt that nut isolated from ground?
im about to jump around my links, to try it,
as im getting a beep from all my wires,

I wish you would quote who you are answering....
Do you get a beep from the battery positive to the alternator post?
