Alternator wiring comes over from the passenger side inner fender area, you probably tucked it back under something and just don't see it yet.

the battery could be dead causing the starter to not have the power to turn the engine over

the black truck had a bad voltage leak but the battery is brand new so try the one from the black truck

3G harness.
Same for 95 & 130A

A small green wire at one end of a three pin grey plug.
...The other wires in the plug...
White & black from the center, ->to a single grey connector
Yellow at other end -> to a ring terminal.
The output/charge cable is separate, and stand alone.
