Default Changed alternator now no power

Hello all, i searched for the answer so please don't yell at me

I had to change the alternator today there is the power wire , and a plug w/ one wire on it then 2 black wire connect together, ground . I disconnected the battery and those wires , put a rebuilt alternator from Autozone in it . Now I hocked up the power, and plugged in the connector BUT forgot the 2 wires that were on a single connector (found this out when I removed the rebuilt alternator).

then connected the battery and there was no power at all No doom light,headlights nothing.'


any ideas who no power?
In the morning I will put the alternator back in.

Reconnect those 2 wires, make sure your battery has a charge, and go from there...

A fully charged battery will be 12.6v even at 12.4v its about 75% charged. You didn't pop the fusible link by any chance?
