More than likely, you found your problem with that wire. There are two grounds near the battery, on the radiator support. The other ground is from the driver side motor mount to the frame.

The only one I know of is from the driver side(left side) motor mount to the frame behind the left front tire. I've never seen any other grounds other than these. Have you taken the alternator back to the store and had them check to make sure it's good? I've seen bad alternators off the shelf.
