I'm not sure why you are asking where the alternator is connected. It is a factory, stock connection. Nothing special there. Nothing changed from factory.

There is a cable that goes from the positive battery clamp under the hood, to the "isolator" mounted in the trunk, by the rear battery. There, a short cable that goes from the isolator to the positive post of the battery in the trunk. The negative side of the battery in the trunk is grounded to the body of the trunk.




[HOOD BATT]POS-->------------>-------->(ISOLATOR)--POS[BATT TRUNK]



I hope that clears it up for you

A factory, stock set up does NOT include two batteries, with one in the trunk, so there IS something special there....

You keep talking about an 'isolator'. Could be many things: a switch, a relay, a large diode.
Which is why I asked for a diagram.....
