So I finally got it figured out! A couple things I learned:
1. The charge light needs to be hooked up for it to work
2. it seems to only want to work when spinning clockwise (when looking at pulley)
When I first hooked up the charge light it would not work, this is because I hooked one side of the bulb to the spade connector where white/red goes and the other to ground (light a normal light). But after looking at the diagram again the white/red goes to the spade on alt and the other side goes to the battery(+), the spade is grounded when no charge is being put out. The the back/white spade goes directly to battery (+) or big stud on alt.
When the charge light would not come on at first I almost gave up and brought it to recycle, good thing I double checked.
