Could have been that, though, hard to say. Either way it's gotta come out and get replaced.

The alternator isn't magic, nor is it something that's sensitive. They can take an enormous amount of abuse and still come running back for plenty more.

Hmm.
Regardless of whether the alternator can be damaged this way, I will avoid running the new alternator in without proper connections. I'll also be wary of tightening the bolt. The alternator came with zero instructions. I follow torque specs to the letter, but in the absence of this information, all bets are off...
