I tried posting this once before, but don't see it, so I apologize if this is a repeat. After installing a new alternator, I found a wire I don't remember removing from the alternator. It's a small yellow wire and I have no idea where it goes. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know! Thanks!

Yellow wire doesn't that mean earth?

Oh i've found your last post to it was under Galant a mod might want to delete that post after being on the forum twice.
I deleted the other post, thanks Seth! I think yellow is ground, isn't it? It's got a small clip on the end, and seems to want to go somewhere. I've got the regulator connector and the battery cable hooked back up. The drive belt is a little loose and the clock resets to 1:00 every time I turn the car back on. Could it be the loose drive belt, or would it be this yellow wire? I feel like such an idiot for not remembering these things before I took the alternator out!

Clock with a drive belt no match. Might be the yellow wire connect it to the chassie "ground" and see what happens.
Does anyone know where the ground wire plugs into? From what I understand, the chassis, but I'm not quite clear on what that is or where the slot to plug it into is. Thanks for all the help
