i am having a problem of not charging . i think i am missing a wire . all i have is the single wire in the harness to the alt , and there is a post on the back . does it need hot from the battery to the back of the alt?

Without that last wire I listed, you gets no charge...easy fix, go get it and start driving that bad boy!

I'm about to reinstall a new alternator. My power steering leak somehow singed the single wire connector and the plug came off somehow. I really don't know how that happened, but now I'm confused. I went to the dealer and the only plug they had for the alt was one with 4 wires coming out of it. Now I only have a single wire that is loose. Which wire from the plug do I use or does it matter?

Thanks man. I did it yesterday finally. However it's not charging fully. It will go up a little about 13 then after a minute it will drop to the first line in the red zone. Revving makes it go up, but not stay up. When I first turn it on it will go back to slightly above 13. I have to go recheck my wire connection I guess. And possibly get my battery recharged.
