Follow the main battery earth lead there is a fuse in the main wire make sure it is okay and your earth point is clean/tight

The blue wire should be attached to the correct terminal on the alternator. It goes to the charging lamp on the dash. It has 12v coming down it from the dash and when the alternator is providing 12v the light will come on.

Take it back, if you got a spare wire you got the wrong alt.
