well........
IMO that leaves regulator or excessive demand on inadequate wire.
Has electrical equipment been added to the car - e.g. electric pump, fan, megawattstereo, 100wattalternator - without upgrade to the harness?

Please discribe "burn up". Is the unit getting too hot, making noise, smell bad or just stopped working?

my dad and I was in the car going down the road and could smell a burning smell. like something electrical. pull over open the hood and the alternator was very hot to the tuch and the wiring that you can see throught the back was black. and when we shut the engine off you could see smoke coming off the alternator.
