    Does anyone have a pin diagram for the 4pin connector plug on the alternator?

    I've got my suspicions that if I short one of the wires to either ground or positive it *should* bring on the battery light.

    Attached are pictures of the actual plug I'm working with

    From left to right I think is...
    ECU (white/black) - ECU (white) - B+ (red) - battery light and ignition switch (red/black)

    Not much that I've found online seems to correlate to what I'm seeing here

    Help? Ha ha

    Hi Russel, From my post 8 in this thread:

    "there is a image with some detail on 16-4 of the manual. It also includes guide (16-23) on checking the alternator once removed" that's where I would start

    I must have been having a very dull day mentally, probably due to having not long finished a night shift but it took me ages to find these manuals that you speak of and are mentioned in other articles.
    For simplicity I've downloaded the lot now.

    Thanks very much!
