Car stalled at speed, service engine soon light came on, preceded by gauges cutting off and back on. Wiring is intact with no breaks but wiring connection on top of alternator was energized with key off. I thought that it was unusual that alternator wiring was energized with key & engine off. Any suggestions?

Check engine light:

Have the computer scanned for code/s-you have a problem within the engine management system that caused the CEL to turn on-This is your starting point of diagnosis, finding out what's going on.
