Check for a blown ( ETCS ) fuse. Electronic Throttle Control System
The 1.6L 4A FE in a 1999 Carina, does not have an ETCS It has a throttle cable, no fuse for that. When polarity is crossed there is a diode in the alternator that will blow, So you are probably right, your alternator is not charging
