Hi.

Is everything working now? I saw there was no more replies. What's happening with the car now?

I'm sorry I'm jumping into this thread late but I just finished this repair myself.

If it is a 1996, 1997, or 1998 model, consider the "fuse 15 problem". The wires behind the engine get frayed and short out, then the alternator will not power up and charge the battery. Fuse #15 under the dashboard is usually blown.

Check that there is battery voltage on the large wire to the screw terminal on the alternator. This wire is live all the time even with the key off. Attempting to replace the alternator without following proper procedure and disconnecting the battery first-- often leads to shorting this wire to ground and blowing the main fuse. Then (if the car doesn't end up completely dead) the new alternator will not work.
