Wiring short

[pgtips]

but I'm clueless about the electrics......

With that you probably know you need to call a local auto electrician.

It's going to be money well spent if your clueless and avoid bigger outlay if you make more mistakes.

It might not be a fried alternator, you can't really tell unless you test.

Should be fine just taking the earth wire of leisure battery , it shouldn't be connected to your main battery with ignition turned off.
