Subject:89 vanagon: Something missing from the alternator?
From:Paolo Damiani
Date:Sun, 7 Jun 1998 23:41:46 EDT

As I was poking around the engine compartment today, waiting for the oil to
drain, I noticed that there is a three pin connector cable-tied to the right
back side of the alternator (as you stand at the rear of the car).

Is there something supposed to be attached to this or is it a plug for
diagnostics? I would tell you what color the wires were but I forgot to note
it, and it's late, but this is keeping me up. If it is a diagnostics
connection, should there be a cover on it?

Any insight would be appreciated... I stared at the diagrams in the Bentley
manual but came up with nothing.
