Vauxhall Combo Alternator Problem!!

[jaseandcorr]

Hi all I have a 1996 Vauxhall Combo 1.7D... My alternator has packed up so got a new one, but I have a problem the new one I have got has 4 pin connector yet my old one was only 2 pin.. So my question is can I convert a 4 pin connector to a 2 pin??
Any advice would be greatly appreciated...
Many Thanks In Advance..
Jason..

It may not work with only 2 wires?

But the 2 wires on the car:
The larger of the two goes directly to the battery positive terminal and connects to the large + terminal on the alternator. Just be careful as it will short to the steelwork on the car, if still connected to the battery.

The small wire goes to the warning light in the dash and connects to the WL terminal on the alternator.

Hope this helps

Personally I'd take it back and get the correct one.....it could save you a lot of time in the end.
Take a photo of the existing plug and terminal, maybe?
