Common problem this one.  :wink:

On the back of the alternator there is a White/Black wire that has a female spade connector on it. This is most likely loose/dirty.
The best thing to do is put a new spade connector on it and have the problem sorted once & for all.
If you try to tighten the original connector then it will fail again in a month or so.  :wink:
