I replaced my alternator in a 2011

Any clues?

Did you disconnect the negative battery terminal before you replaced the alternator?

Yes, both cables were unhooked. I also installed a brand new battery. Positive cable on first then negative.

Check switch on dash or column and other bulb to see if it is blown. (One not lit)

Is the positive making contact with the negative side of that circuit? Had this in an old Chevy years ago.
