I changed over my 97 to an 04 PI engine. I noticed that the alternator off the 97 has 3 wires and the 04 only 2. Does anyone know how to modify the 97 wiring harness to use the newer alternator?

Thanks.

I used my old alternator, then upgraded to a 200 amp but I heard that some are able to use the newer alt by just not using the extra wire somehow.
