My battery just died. Replaced it. This is actually a 2 part question. Does anyone know where the red wire in my hand connects? Secondly it wont hold a charge. I think my alternator is dead? Maybe this wire has something to do with the alternator?

Check the charging sys. At the parts store also check for a draw on your battery.A easy way to check for a draw is to remove the negitive cable overnite. If u hook it up in the morning and its not dead you got something drawing down the battery.
