Default 96 Civic alternator+question

Hi guys and gals here I am again with yet another question regarding my 96
Civic.
I will go ahead and repost my prior question and sitrep concerning therof
so I may as well go ahead and do it,Here 'tis:


Ok here goes,


'96 civic DX 5 speed,I was driving into work this morning and had the wipers
on,headlights and defog.My dash lights started (how do I explain this)
acting like they were almost blinking like my emergency lights.Headlights
were doing the same thing.It was raining out at the time.I kinda think it's
my alternator going up on me or the belts are loose.Any thoughts on this?Oh
yeah the speedometer was jumping around like a monkey on crystal meth going
from 20 to 100 to 30 to ...you get the picture.
Thanks in advance,
Will


PS I had a prior question about whether my speed sensor or speedometer was
going up on me,it WAS the speed sensor.

<2 weeks later>
OK,I went ahead and pulled the alternator(it was a bitch BTW)went ahead and
bought a new one and installed it today.I went to go and start it up,when I
turned the key no dome lights no click no nuthin'.I went and got my next
door neighbor and see if he would give me a jump start tried that,still
nuthin.I checked everything.I mean there's only 2 connections to the
alternator and I made sure they were good cuz I hooked them up myself.Am I
missing something here? Maybe a wire got broken in the process of me dicking
around trying to get the alternator outta the engine crate?I dunnno.Guess
I'll go back and trace my steps after work tommorow.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions,

Will
