There has to be a voltage feed back to the alternator to regulate 12v for the

A multi meter is useful for such things , You want 14+ volts while running at the battery . One of the wires gives the internal regulator a signal . An alternator does not produce voltage unless some is applied to create a magnetic field fyi
