Thanks for your quick response. I found that the brown wire with the yellow tracer was not connected. I also found that the screws that hold the plastic cover on the back of the alternator were missing. I was unable to get the spade connector on the brown with yellow tracer wire to plug into anything on the alternator. I removed the white plug from the alternator and found that three spades were intact in the back of the alternator.
