this problem is on my daily driver and i have school so i really need to get this solved asap
OK
the battery was dead one morning, after looking under the hood i noticed the 2 grey with black stripe wires on the lower harness clip on the alternator were just hanging, leading to nothing.
1st question, having these disconnected, would that have killed the alternator.
back to the story
the previous owner for some reason had cut and re connected those wires and i guess just driving around like that they found a way to get loose, the poor quality of the electrical work did not help!!!!
2nd question
The wires are identical as far as marking, does it matter what way i hook them up, and if so how do i tell them apart?
3rd question, if i hook them up wrong will it fry the new alternator?
I want to find the previous owner and smack him up side the head, this is not he first time i have found a "jerry" riged setup on the car...
