Ford X/FLOW Alternator Connections

[A7 OOH]

A long story but I have damaged my alternator end cap and cannot sort out the connections?

Are these simple spade push connectors or are they contained in a single plug in connector.

I probably need to replace the end cap in full, are these available as a separate part or do I need to replace the complete unit.

Awkward spot but can anyone supply a picture of the connections.

Thanks

There's a limited range of terminal patterns. Please can you add some photos or sketches and a description of the wire colours and sizes, which are pretty standard.

And any identification letters next to the terminals.

And a model number if you can find one.

Are you describing the end of the alternator itself, or an external cap that is attached to the wires and clips onto the alternator?

Local specialists are often excellent and cheap at repairing alternators and starters.

I have the factory wiring diagrams: please send me a Private Message with your email address if you'd like them.

I had this type of connector on my x/flow. Maybe see if a local auto electrician can supply the end cap?

Thanks I will try and get in close to check out wires and colors.

Are most of the 94 era alternators Lucas.

I use ordinary spade crimp connections.

I don't know but here's the factory wiring diagram from 1996:

Johathan do you know the colour codes of the 3 wires?

Stephen looking Left to Right on your what colors are we looking at, am I correct in assuming the left cable is a lower amp rating then the other two?

I'm not sure this will be very helpful!

Thanks to all.

Now sorted

Did you identify the alternator or the terminal pattern, please?

It will help someone someday... : - )

Thanks

After searching through a manual provided by Jonathan I found the following on connecting the loom terminals to the alternator:

Two Thick Brown Wires With Large Spade terminals and one Brown/Black cable with small spade terminal

Does not matter which way round the large spades are connected to the alternator.

The Brown/Black is connected +B Terminal on the alternator.

All as shown in picture #10
