I replaced my alternator and battery but my car still won't charge the battery. Why?

Put a gauge on battery to make sure you are getting voltage then check the two wires for power marked in pic. If no power it may be a connection problem on either end, bad fuse box, also check ground battery to engine. And ground battery to body.
