yes, it's power and it goes on the stud on the back of the alt. Make sure you use a in line fusable link. 150 amp.

It protechs the circuit in case of a short. The fuse wil blow before electrical damage or fire occurs

Ummmm, it's spring loaded, did it come apart? The bolt thru the middle is what holds it in place
