Any word on where these two plastic pins (molded into the alternator sub harness end) attach to the car? Right now the excess slack on the harness is just kind of folded into position - I don't see anywhere within reach to mount the harness/these two plastic pins. What's a good link to those ASSEMBLY DIAGRAMS (not just the FSM drawings) that I see posted sometimes ? Thanks

[QUOTE="reallywildstuff;9115842"]The 96-97 alternator fits and the car is back on the road. I installed a new alternator harness - it has two retaining clips on the engine harness side. Where are they supposed to clip into?/QUOTE]

I'd still like to know where in the engine room the alternator sub-harness retaining pins are to be snapped into.

Thanks

Probably a.c. compressor. After alternator wire there's 2 that run down pass alternator that's attached off the same alternator wire that plugs up to the a.c. compressor.

There should be a bracket that sticks out above the a/c compressor that holds the end of the harness.

Ive created a Flickr album. Is this the best way to post photos to the forum? I tried using the maxima.org app's "add photo" feature and got an ugly error message that then crashed the app...

The two grey plastic pins I'm referencing are prominently featured at the end of the alternator sub-harness.

"Where did they come from Where did they go?"

The alternator sub-harness isn't long enough for the pins to snap into holes anywhere near the AC compressor.
