you i guess are not aware that inside of the wires there are fuses. these are round pen dia sized plastic that is about 1inch long........with a meter check that you get battery voltages on both sides of wire going to alt. this is not rocket science...........if you did not disconnect battery when replacing alt and shorted out red wire to alt this would explain your current situation........
