Post a picture please. I am wondering if you are referring to the alternator to battery "hot" wire.

I believe the ground for the alt. is the mounting bracket itself , something else is the problem and should be fixed (duh). alts' ain't cheap and the problem may have ruined yours ..

Buy a new wire at AutoZone ask for a B+ alternator terminal then install one end on the alternator tip with a bolt screen and the other en to the positive terminal on the starter motor then jump start it or charge battery and problem should be fixed
