Hey Kenney,
Welcome to FTE!
One thing to check is the harness that plugs into the bottom of your alternator.
Mine has failed before leading to an "open" condition.
These are notorious for melting down internally, so much so that a replacement pigtail plug is widely available.
Here's a link to an older thread on the subject with aftermarket part #'s;
