To check the wiring to the alternator you should have battery voltage at the battery stud on the alternator and also at the #2 terminal all the time. Terminal #1 should have voltage only when the switch is on. The amount of voltage is not too important but should be at least 6 volts or more to insure the alternator will start to charge at lower rpms.
As others have posted there should be some type of resistance between the switch and the #1 terminal. If not that circuit also becomes a charging circuit. You can overload the diode trio on the alternator when that happens. They are only designed to provide power for the regulator. If too large a portion of the charging amperage passes through them they will have a short life.
