yah man...thats the plug for the alternator
. that tanish wire is the one that goes to the white by your fuse box. just take that harness apart, cuz you wont need the heavy gauge wire since you already have that on your car. run those three wires where theyre supposed to go and youll be set. yea and as stupid as it sounds, on the ground cable from the battery, it goes down to the body right behind the battery tray and bolts to the body....make sure you have that bolted in...when i first put this engine in, id go for a run around the block and the car would just die, and i had no idea what it was until i noticed that.

The plug thats on the actual harness which doesnt match the body plug on drivers side. I dont do anythign with correct?i just leave it alone? which is this plug
![](http://i4.cashmoneyuploads.com/tn/190725.jpg)
ok...next
I take the Tan wire from the alternator wire and go into the white wire on the body plug on the drivers side .
Tan(alternator) --------> White(middle wire on plug )Body Plug Drivers side.
YellowGreen(ALternator) ------->Orange Plug Kickpanel Ecu Pin 9
and last but not least.
BlackYellow ------->Gray plug smaller pins, Pin 13?
any recommendations on what gauge wire to use?
thanks agian.. i seem to have understood it all now.

ok heres an update.. do i still need to connect the wires from the harness to the body plug? the blue/black and black cable? the body plug meaning the plug with the white wire on the drivers side.
another thing...
i ran the wires today for the alternator.. 1 to the body connecter and 2 inside the cabin into the the car.. we got the pin 9 situated.. but we cant figure out which is pin 13 on that other gray plug. i guess ill have to wait for pics. we pulled both plugs.. one doesnt have pin numbers.. and one has them but skips 13. please help..thanks agian

ok, sooo....i used 16 or 18 gauge wire for the alternator wires, and to extend most of the harness plugs...dosent make much of a difference, but dosent hurt to use heavier gauge wire.
as for the grey connector pin 13....thats right...i forgot theres no numbers on it. so...if youre looking at the male plug...its got two rows of pins, and if youre looking at it as fi it plugs into your face, its the 6th pin from the left...the numbers start at the top left and work their way over.
ehh..u know what...heres a picture...cf1 is where the wire is going. cf2 is the other grey connector.
oh yea and the body plug....ok so im pretty sure the black/blue wires...theres two of em....they go to nothing...just leave em there, and the black one goes to the black one on the plug on your car. i still havent had a chance to look at mine to be sure tho...sorry...ive been working crazy hours.

awesome dude... this diagram helps alot with findin that pin.. yeah... the last question of mine would be those black wires.. if i should connect them to that body plugs (the ones that come off the harness)
ill take some pics 2morrow sometime to give everyone a better idea..
we finished on pin 9 but got confused as hell on pin 13.. this helps a ton..
thanks agian and iam waiting for those pics when u get a chance..
