Right guys,
I have a small "issue" with wiring up my alternator on a 3vz.
Due to reasons i wont go into, i have a '95 engine but a pre '93 wiring loom, and guess what? Toyota changed the plugs!
I discovered that the plug on my 3s loom was the one in needed but i have a small problem (well, several problems, but thats another story!lol )
The 3vz plug has the 3 pins in a triangular shape with white, yellow and red with a blue stripe wires entering it.
The 3s plug has the 3 pins in a row with yellow, black with a yellow stripe and white with a red stripe entering it.
Now, i think i can just about work out the yellow wire, but what about the other 2? Common sense would say join the 2 white wires and join the red with blue to the black with yellow, but can anyone give me a definitive answer to this and what would happen if i get it wrong?
Hope someone out there can help as i am getting sick of getting stuck on stupid little problems like this (and im running out of tools to throw at the wall!)
