Voltage guage is pegged..

Guys,
Long story short, got the car back from alignment and now the voltage gauge is pegged(gounded on something?). Does anybody know which wire goes to the guage? Diacom reads the correct voltage just fine so I'm not real worried but would like to have a working gauge.

Thanks guys,
Brendan

I believe one wire goes to the gauges fuse in the fuse box and the other is just grounded.

If you still have the problem check the connector on the alternator. It may have come lose
