year make and model ,and engine size please ,and Ill send you a wiring diagram ,also an explanation where the other 2 wires goes: all cars are different there is no set place for the other 2 wires.
In addition ,you had no radio noise before when you reved the car and now you do ,in all my experiences that noise omits from the rectifier bridge and the diodes (stuff in the alternator), usually when they go bad that occurs ,you may also find excessive AC voltage aswell ,if you took a Multimeter and hooked it up to the batt ,you may find 1-5 volts AC voltage ,meaning Diodes on the bridge are bad.
New alt may be in order.
A piece of advice........ you install a "used " alt ,then another ect.... nothing but problems since , why not just buy a decent rebuilt/almost new alt and be done with the headache?

Model exact Dodge Colt premier, 1.6L turbo.
As for why I went used, $40 used, $200 new. Paid $800 for car.
BTW, the parts I'm getting from the scrap yard are from a Hyundia Excel. But they're all sporting the Mitsubishi logo. Cept the last one, which is a bosch.
I have a wiring diagram from the Hayes manual, I just can't make head or tail of it.
As for the radio noise, the new alt had a fan that the others didn't and it chewed up the main wiring race. One of the wires was the main alt-batt lead.

Sorry been REAL busy............
Looks like 3 wires here: Blue Yellow and White.
Blue
robably the thick one goes to the battery
Yellow: goes to the instament cluster to the guage or idiot charge light.
White: also ends up at the battery ,white also connects and powers up fuse #12 and the light switch for hatch back and sedan.
For wagon blue powers up light switch and #12 fuse. Ultimately both blue and white connect directly to battery ,with an inline fusable link.
On the wagon the yellow wire also branches of to a diode resisterthen comes out as black and white and goes to the ignition switch.
