The alternator on a 1993 Dodge is regulated by the engine computer. You would have to find an aftermarket regulator and follow it's wiring schematic.

a 1 wire 100 amp alternator.
It's located on the end if the main power wire coming off the alternator. This wire connects to the starter. The fusible link is located on the starter end of the wire.
clean the battery terminals - strong wire brush or a little baking soda & water.
The alternator is not getting power? At any of the wires or just the main/largest one? If you are testing the large wire, this is the output side that runs to the battery. If there is no power in this wire where it connects to the alternator it must have a bad connection at the alternator or at the battery or a break somewhere in between. If there is power there, I would look at the fuses.
This wire is connected to the solenoid along with a wire going to the power distribution system (Fuse box), but the connection or split is after the fusible link on the wire comming from the alternator. On most vehicles, those connections are attached to the same solenoid bolt. The connection there at the bolt, is done there because the large Positive battery cable also comes to that bolt.
No.
This is a dual-field alternator, they both are field connections.
On a dodge alternator the two small wires go to the voltage regulator . It doesn't matter which wire goes where, but the red or blue wire needs 12 volts when the key is on. The green wire goes directly to the regulator from the alternator. The large wire goes to the battery and it is important that you don't undersize this wire. The other wire is a ground wire and can be grounded to the block or not used as the case is grounded by the bolts that hold it on.
It can be done, yes. You just have to make sure you wire them in parallel.
old myth, bad for alternator, dont do this..
The easyest way is to go with a 1 wire alternator (self exciting). Find or make brackets that will work, mount the alternator and run 1 wire from the alternator to the battery.
Left rear of cylinder head (single wire sensor)
Voltage regulator or loose wire.
It is possible for the alternator high frequency to interfere with an unshielded crank sensor wire or cam sensor wire. This is what happened to my 2002 windstar. The fix is either replace the alternator with a ford unit and/or wrapping the crank sensor wire with tin foil and then grounding it
voltage regulator.
Generally its pretty simple. On a '98 Ford Expedition, there is on larger red wire that bolts on top and a thin lead wire going to the battery. The alternator is grounded out by the bracket bolted to the engine, so there is no black wire. It is rather self-explanatory if you look at it closely.
So far I've learned that the dark green wire connects to the PCM and the dark green/orange wire connects to the ASD (Auto Shut Down relay). Now to which terminals do they connect to on the alternator and how do you determine that?
