The power wire goes through the harness to the + terminal in the
rear fuse block.  From there, it runs up to a junction block by the
driver's left foot and on into the frunk where it feeds most of the
FLs in the forward fuse block.

All you should have to do with that wire is put it on the alternator
stud and tighten down the nut.
