Hi, I know that there can be problems if wrong alternator is fitted; my alternator failed (is not charging properly) so I took it down to check the brushes (they seem fine) so that was my attempt to fix the existing alternator.
I went to scrap ward and found a an alternator on a car, I took if down and I am ready to fit it on my car. The problem is that on my car at the PHIN connector there are 2 black wires, while on the one from scrapyard there was only one white small wire.
I am wondering if anyone has the expertise to confirm whatever or not the 2 alternators are compatible (i.e. fitting the scrapyard alternator won't damage my car).
I will attach pictures of
1. my existing alternator code
2. scrap yard alternator code
3. back of my alternator (the plastic only as it has been taken of my alternator when I checked the brushes)
4. the back (connectors) of the scrapyard alternator (connectors are cut off so they are visible)
Any help will be appreciated, as I don't want to waste time fitting an incompatible alternator at the best or damage my ECU at the worse
Please note that the code on the alternators are similar, the amps are the same, and the back plate is identical, but as I said my car has to black wires going to the PHiN while the scrapyard one has only a thin white wire (as per picture)
Please also note that on my alternator (as it is the case on the scrapyard alternator) there are 3 pins on the back but the middle one is not used
I cannot upload pictures so all I can do is to put the label info
my existing faulty alternator
Denso 63321658 A115I 75A
003250V009
05901/2 DC A1601540301 14V
the scrapyeard alternator
magnet marely 28410/2 MAN1009
063341658101 A115I 14V 75A
Please note that even-though the scrapyard is a different make (on the plastic where the label is located on the side it is still printed Denso)
Thank you
