joey b Posted September 13, 2005 Report Posted September 13, 2005 My alternator seems to be dying on me. I had a shop put a different type of voltage regulator in it to be compatible. I need to change this thing tomorrow! Can I splice the wires from the existing OBD I harness and put them on an OBD II harness and have it work with a run of the mill 97 alternator? Quote
manitcor Posted September 13, 2005 Report Posted September 13, 2005 it shouldnt matter the connectors between ODBI and ODBII systems are the same, the number of wires are different but thats just based on how the computer uses the regultor Quote
joey b Posted September 14, 2005 Author Report Posted September 14, 2005 I thought the connector was different and didn't plug into the newer alternator. I won't have a chance to look until I take it apart tomorrow. I'll have to get it back together same day though cause I have classes and will be working all day thurs thru sun. Quote
slick Posted September 14, 2005 Report Posted September 14, 2005 Yes, the plug is different from OBD1 to OBD2. Quote
manitcor Posted September 14, 2005 Report Posted September 14, 2005 Now that I think about it, it might be, I went from ODB1.5 I keep forgetting there may be slight changed between 1 and 1.5 even. 1.5 and 2 share the same connector. Quote
slick Posted September 14, 2005 Report Posted September 14, 2005 When I swapped my engine harness, I had to swap the plug as well. You just use the two inner wires for the plug. Quote
