Hi, got a alternator fitted by the garage due to battery not charging.
I am having problems with the battery draining empty overnight since the alternator was fitted a couple of weeks ago. Was going to check for a parasitic drain coming from somewhere but before I do I wanted to make sure the wiring was correct in the newly installed alternator.
There are two wires coming from the car loom that go to a plug on the alternator. One wire is red and one is blue. The red wire is connected straight through but the blue wire looks like it has been cut from the loom side, and a new wire has been installed in its place from the chassis on the alternator itself. I have attached on a couple of pictures of it that will explain it better.
