ok. you are making this pretty complicated.
there is a big round plug with a bunch of wires on the back of the alternator. Unhook the round plug completely.
Notice you can use a standard spade connector to hook one of the wires up on the back of the alternator. Using a piece of wire with a spade connector, hook up the terminal which the black/yellow wire used to be connected to. Using a male spade connector, hook the other end of the jumper to the correct spot on the round plug.
Now start the car, and notice the alternator is charging by watching a volt meter hooked to the battery.
Now unhook the spade connector. Does the voltage drop?
You only need two wires to make the alternator charge - one wire to the battery, the other through ignition, through the "charge light" on the dash.
The rest of the wires are a bunch of crap for the ecu to sense load to keep the car idling.
