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.
The automotive industries use steel wire
run it and then disconnect the negative wire from the battery if alternator dies its bad.
An alternator turns to the right, if facing pulley from side.
If you have a new alternator its as simple as run the one wire to the solenoid. If you are converting the alternator to a one wire, you will need an external regulator.

a bad ground wire can ruin an alternator by not completing the circuit

2 wire has a live wire to energise the field where as the single wire alternator self energises and does not need the powered feed.
This wire allows the alternator to keep the battery charged.
It is the wire that supplies the initial field current to the alternator from the battey. Once the alternator is rotating the field current will be provided by the diodes from the current produced by the alternator. excitor wire is usually wired through the charging indicator light.
You can look for one of these online. Many sites, such as eBay, or even automotive parts stores will have this alternator for you.
It depends on where the wire is being connected on the alternator. It could be the alternator or it could be a damaged wire or connector. It's something that you will need to track down.
