Please help

Ok, my amp gauge is about 30...The gauges are not working, and it still will not turn off. I have changed the ignition switch, the selonoid, and the alternator. Do all the problems hinge on the alternator. I have put a brand new delco in two weeks ago. Do I need to change the voltage regulator.. I always thought it was in the alternator. Please help. I have been told to check the resistor wire on the back of the alternator? What should I do?

let me get this straight your amperage gauge is reading + 30 amps? sounds like a shorted wire or battery

that is what I am thinking. I am thinking that it shorted out somewhere and burnt up the gauges....and the short is keeping the engine running. Tomorrow I am going to check the resistor wire on the alternator. Any other suggestions.
