if you do what i did and short the alternator out you often burn or melt the coper windings in there which result's in it slowly draining the battery over time (depending on how much damage the alternator is) for me it was an overnight thing, and car ran fine when driving still pumped out 14volts but not enough current so when it hit night and you put your headlights on well they start to get dimmer and dimmer then eventually engine and everything shuts down.


but to answer your question by shorting the alternator out you often damage the alternator, or othertimes its the regulator.

but all can be prevented to an extent if you have a fussable link so if you don't have one get one.
