That wire is the alternator charge warning light,
Could you remember what colour it was, some of these alternators the exciter/charge warning wire, has to be fitted on the top of the two SMALL terminals , but have had to change the female end (wire side) before now and put it on the lower connector to get them work ( only , as you say its a nightmare to take back off and change) the wire goes to the engine fusebox,
Before you take alternator off ,, try the wire on the other terminal,,, p.s. It will not damage your alternator.
