URGENT! Alternator connection question!

SwissArmy · 08-04-2014, 05:40 AM

Hey guys,

I've recently got my alternator replaced. But, now I am plagued with low voltage codes on all my sensors. And, the car is in limp mode. I disconnected the top connector and noticed that there is only one "contact" visible in the connector. The alternator regulator has two males, whereas the connector has two females but only one has the contact visible. Is this normal? I would need to know this ASAP.

Alternator Regulator

Connector

Are there meant to be two of these? I can only see one of these contact wires coming through the connector

PART # 12520007171

Thank you

The WDS shows only one wire from the alternator to the DME.
