it doesn't really matter about the wire. All you need to do to see if the car is charging(aka if your alt is working) start the car (sounds like you'll need a jump) and place the positive lead on the alt where the cable connects and then ground the black lead on your volt meter to a good ground. you should see around 14v if not a little more. if you have your 14v or so then you have a draw or you left one of your map lights on.
