I replaced my alternator, however i made the mistake of not paying
attention to the orientation of the harness i pulled out. the harness
seems to have a yellow and a brown colored wire. the harness does not
have any distinguishable marks on it to assist.. the wires are molded
in shape to fit to the old alternator, but will the new one use the
same orientation?

been a heck of a 2 weeks.. hot water tank, broke/replaced. toilet
broke/ repaired.. alternator broke /replaced. generator broke(not
running).. that's next....

thanks in advance--

Is it possible a PO changed the wiring? First you need an APC

Hi David, yeh, just another day in the life of a GMC owner! If you bought your Alt. w/a number from the GMMCI list, you are OK. Just plug it in and go.
