waltmail Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 (edited) It's been an ongoing process that I have negelected and last night the ominous red alt indicator came on and voltage gauge dropped down. Sure enough, when I stopped to look the connector had popped out of the top of the alternator. Attempting to stick it back in it just crumbled into uselessness. I am assuming it is the communication cable between the the V Reg and ecmu. I am now dead in the water. I am attempting to find a replacement, but in the meantime if I can rig up a straight connection I need to know which 2 of the 4 pins in the alt socket are the correct ones. Ive got a red and a white wire. Also anyone know where I can get a replacement socket/cable that I can splice into the leads?

Ronnie Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 If the connector you need looks like the one below it is available in The Reatta Store. Look in the Electrical system category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Thanks Ronnie. Wrong one.It is the one that is recommended but I didn't know for sure. I have removed ti from the store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one may be used. the generics come with 4 wire, but our cars only use the center 2. So the 2 outside pins would be snipped and/or disregarded. I would keep it in the store.

padgett Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Crumbling connectors is something I avoid by running the engine cooler than stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
