    shit i must be an electrician cause i can use a multimeter, na dude its really not hat hard if its a dial multimeter turn it around til its on the 20v or the closest one to 20v (but not under 12). then use the black needle to earth it out the the red needle to what ever you are checking for a circuit.
    hopefully this helps

    the wire pictured is for the supressor, all it does is reduce electrical 'noise' that can occur sometimes. it is not needed for the alternator to operate. (it does indeed connect to the 'B+' on the alternator.

    turn your ignition on, but do not start the engine, is the 'CHARGE'(or batttery symbol) light on your dash lit up?

    If it is lit up, does is turn off when the engine is started? because it should.

    it sounds like a wiring fault, in either the 'B+' wire to the battery + terminal, or the charge light wire isnt connected at the back of the alternator.(thin wire)

    hope this makes sense mate!

    Well I know for sure the battery is now busted so ill replace that again because i had the alternator tested by someone who knew what they were doing. I kinda learnt a few things.
