Gawd I hate electrics.

So I’ve just changed my alternator to a new higher output one as recommended in here. With old alternator the battery was not getting a charge but there was no charge warning light.

With new alternator the battery is still not getting a charge but charge warning light is on.

Where do I go next?

How's the condition of the wiring ?

I'd put new leads on to be fair ...
 
Connections seem fairly standard, certainly no changes made since alternator has been charging OK. Connections to alternator were in block originally with three connections. Two of the wires push onto thicker blade connections. The third goes to a smaller blade closest to engine block. I think the smaller connector had become disconnected because the plastic holder wasn’t holding it in place. So I cut off that end of the plastic block and that thinner wire is just pushed on directly. I think that thinner wire is the one that goes to dash charging light? Al
