Stick with the same question you asked to begin with if you keep starting new questions you make it a lot harder to help you with your problem. When you start a new question I dont get a email alert letting me know when you posted a reply to me. So do you have a multimeter to do some testing?Your going to need one sounds like your missing a power feed or two to the alternator.

Key in the run position see if the black wire with a orange stripe and the yellow wire with a white stripe both have battery voltage at the alternator. Let me know what you find.
