[QUOTE="matt5058, post: 16411156, member: 164345"] So I'm kind of stuck on the alternator power cable issue. In order to try and make things less complicated, I ordered a power cable with a fuse in line, and it arrived yesterday. [ATTACH=full]1637961[/ATTACH] I started undoing the cable that's currently on the alternator...and I was reviewing diagrams in this thread here: [URL unfurl="true"][URL="https://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/threads/3g-alternator-install-a-how-to.646825/"]3G Alternator Install: A How To[/URL][/URL] [ATTACH=full]1637962[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1637963[/ATTACH] On the alternator side, I get that the new 4 gauge power wire goes on the alternator output stud. And I see the regulator socket like in the diagram with three wires (green, yellow, and white) but on mine, the white wire goes from the regulator socket to what looks like the field winding power input(?). [ATTACH=full]1637964[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1637965[/ATTACH] Unless I'm looking at my alternator wrong and the white wire that is supposed to be spliced and crimped from the orange/black cable goes somewhere else? Speaking of the white wire....it doesn't look like my orange/black alternator power plug has that white wire coming off of it anyways. Oh and I only have one orange/black cable as opposed to the two it seems I'm supposed to have as shown in the diagram. Here's mine: [ATTACH=full]1637966[/ATTACH] I'm lost at the moment. Any thoughts or suggestions? Is it possible I have some different or unique kind of 3G alternator? [/QUOTE]
