Can I suggest you remove the battery and take a good look in the area for any trapped wires that might have been damaged during the removal and insertion? Trapped wires etc?
Also start checking more fuses I guess.

Gday All,
Problem solved - When I made up the separate alternator cable I must have not crimped 1of the lugs correctly and when I undone it off the battery the lug had come off the cable but because it was covered in heat shrink it wasn't visible. I wasn't convinced it could be 2 alternators so I started from scratch and checked things from the battery back and when I disconnected it from the inline fuse it was obvious something wasn't right. Cut the heat shrink off and PRESTO problem found.
Atleast I got some more practice at changing alternators and know my spare does still work.
Thanks for the replies.
Cheers Ean
In my business that's called a maintenance induced failure!! Luckily for you Operations and Maintenance are the same group.:Rolling: Good find.
