The case of the alternator is ground no power feeds go to it. So you have no wires going to the alternator?If so thats why its not charging. Your supposed to have three power feeds just like the wire diagram rastamaz posted.

Scratch that sorry. I guess I just don't know what wire to pick there is all kinds right there and I just don't know which one it is without ripping them all apart and singling it out.

So I followed the wires and it looks good nothing stands out that would be like a fusible link blown. So where do I go from here?

Bring that alternator back where you got it from and have them load test it.

The diagram that I gave you does the wires matches on the alternator?

The only thing that makes sense is you dont have power to one of those wires going to the alternator.

I only see black with a orange stripe and yellow with a white stripe as power wires to the alternator. Do those wires have power at the alternator?I dont see a green wire in the wire diagram.
