Bought a brand new battery. Tested alt again and it’s good. Looks like somehow swapping an alt created some kind of problem with the grn/red wire. Now how do I fix this??
Check all voltages at the battery with engine off & then with engine running.
Good battery is 12.65V with engine off.
Good charging system is 14+V with engine running.
I’ll check in the morning and post...Check all voltages at the battery with engine off & then with engine running.

Maybe you have a burned out fuselink, E or F. They cannot be tested with an ohmmeter, 1 wire strand remaining will still show 0 ohms. Look for melting or a soft spot.
The wire colors are shown on the drawing. The starter relay is a bit obscured by the fat blue wire.
If I can see them, so can you.
If a PO has moved them to "tidy up" the engine compartment, can't help you.
This is a fuse link replacement. Looks like a piece of wire & it is of a sort, special wire & special insulation.

1. You're not going to find the same color.
2. Since the bypass wire works, can't you make it permanent? I have no pic of the 3 pin connector, but you might be able to find one in a JY & cut it off, keeping the wire pigtails so you have something to splice on to.
3. If you tie-wrap the bypass wire to the green/red wire it might be a reminder to you or any future owner. You could try to hunt down the "break" in the green/red wire. Are you sure it's not the Alternator Warning Indicator Lamp that's burned out or missing?
Here's where the green/red wire makes the connection.
