I just replaced the alternator but now the new oe is not charging the battery I know the part is good cause had them test it when I bought it so wanted to check the wiring to find the bad one that's not working but don't have a wiring diagram for the car so don't know which wires are what is there a way you can tell me cause no parts stores near me have a manual nor can they order me one.

I got you covered, here is the alternator wiring diagrams with a guide to help you check the connections. Make sure the IGN1 and IGN2 fuses are good.
