Does your Toyota Alternator have these connections



The Bat would be your large brown to the Solenoid

S is Signal the SENSE line is a positive input to the alternator, and is meant to be feedback giving reference information on the load of electronics on your car. So its supposed to be hooked up the most electrically distant part of your car to let the alternator know if it should be upping the current to compensate. If its hooked up close to the BAT wire, which will be virtually the same voltage, then the alternator doesnt think it has to work that hard, and just does enough to keep the voltage steady at 13.8V.In your case you could run a wire from the battery + s a signal or try it on the main brown as a test

L is your cars Ignition Warning lamp wire

IG is a 12v ignition feed source which you could take from a switched 12v supply

This is the most popular Toyota Wiring for Alternators

This is how my connector looks like.. Wires are super thin in my opinion

I managed to get the dash no charge light to work
But the rest I couldnt

Those wires will be thin as they aren't the load connection. The stud is the load connection.

What Toyota is your alternator off ?

AH i see what you mean Dan.. Kernow the sparepart shop i bout it from said its off a toyota Unser..

i found this off the Internet.. even though its not the 4 wire one that i have its similar cause mine only has 2 wires left.. the rest were taken off.. which means that it becomes a 3 wire(if you include the terminal)..
