Re: Alternator

Since installing the new alternator, i am experiencing a pretty bad battery drain. is it possible that it is from the way it is wired?

I connected the 2 outside blue and brown wires at the regulator.
I connected the 2 wires at the alternator plug what would be the brown and white wires (previous owner made them them the same color wires black) and connected both of them to the White wire on the ne 12si plug. I feel this might have been wrong.
I ran a new 10ga wire to the battery from the the big red bolt on the back.
I ran a new 10ga ground wire from the alternator housing to the ground on the battery.
