Alternator connections

29 Jul 2012, 10:30pm
Trying to sort out the wiring for my cordite? My loom is missing it's alternator plug. I have sourced a new one but can anyone tell me which wire goes to which connector in the plug? The are three spade connectors in the plug, two large, one small. I have three wires, one fat brown, one thin brown and one thin brown and yellow. Can anyone enlighten me? One of those things when you don't take the car apart yourself!

Glad I can help you for a change Simon...

Unfortunately I wasn't fully awake when I rushed outside to take a photo for you.
As I'd forgotten that I have now removed my wiring loom! :rolleyes:

So here is a photo of the alternator to make sure we have the same type.



Then it was down to the bottom of my garden to find the box with the loom in it.



From left to right we have:
- Small connector = Brown / Yellow
- Middle = Thick Brown
- Right = Thin Brown

Cheers, Paul. :)
