2010 Nissan Maxima
I bought a new harness and I'm trying to match the wires which are Green, Red and Black to my old harness wires which are Brown, Yellow/Black and Light Blue. My old harness practically disenigrated so I wasn't able to see how they connected

There is good chance the information you are looking for may be in chg.pdf

 

Followed the diagram but now it drains the battery.
Thanks NoPike replying

 

If a member doesn't post a picture to assist you, do you have a local junkyard you can visit?

 

I'll try that honestly that never crossed my mind. THANKS

 

After 2 remanufactured alternator duds and 2 bad batteries I have my car running again. Until next time

 

That's great to hear. What brand and where did you buy the two dud alternators?

 

I bought the duds at O'Reilly s

 

I have a 2009 maxima model and my connector also melted into pieces does anybody if an older model maxima alternator would fit I have a junkyard near by,but they only have a 2006 maxima.

 

Hello could you help by telling me which colors goes with each one? I saw you got yours fixed. Thanks

 

just match them up with the orientation of the harness. Far left goes with far left, middle with middle, far right with far right.

 

here's what I went by when I changed my neighbor's alternator on her 2012 like 2 weeks ago..

Could you not match it with another harness on the engine?

 

I have the same problem. Did you get it figured out?

 

I have that same problem

According to the service manual if you look at the plug (male end) with the clip on top it will go blue,yellow,brown

 

so is that blue farthest away from the motor im doin it now

 

yes that’s correct! If you are looking into the connector with the clip on top from left to right will be blue,yellow,brown. When you connect it to the alternator blue will be closest to the radiator while brown will be closer to the motor

 

I find re-built alternators aren't worth the trouble. I opted for a Nissan OEM rebuilt Alternator becuase it carried the same 1 year warranty and was half the cost of new. It happened during Covid time, so I wasn't driving the car as much, so the warranty period expired and it had 12,000 km on it when it died. So replaced it with new OEM.

 

any one knes what wire is the 12volt comstend or sense
