So the alternator is on the passenger side of the engine bay.
Just behind the passenger seat.
This is just a total guess on my part.
The clicking you hear and then the car dying could be due to a faulty diode in the alternator.
Or faulty internal voltage regulator.
You could remove it and have it bench tested.
Hard to test on the car if the car will not stay running.
Let me know what you find.
Always interested in results
As for the black wire. you need to know what it is to.
don't assume it is ground. You never know tell you know for sure.
