The alternator is at the bottom of the engine bay, of course.

I am away from home right now in a campground. I have the car's jack (yuck!) and jack stands, but no safe place to jack the front end up.

Where does the positive lead from the alternator go to? Is it the second wire that attaches to the positive clamp on the battery?

I followed the smaller wire that comes off of the positive terminal. I goes to a terminal block about 1 foot from the positive terminal. From there it branches over to the fuse box in the trunk and forward (to the main fuse box?).

Strangely, with the ground wire connected to the battery and the multimeter in series from the positive terminal on the battery to the wire that goes to the rear fuse box I get 7 amps!
