Hello All,

I recently purchased a 1993 ES300 with 125k miles. It needs some work, first starting with the alternator. I removed it and found the voltage regulator connector falling apart in my hands. I purchased a new connector but none of the colors match. I believe I can wire it using the new connector but I would like to know if there are any GOOD parts sites for OE or OE similar parts that ya'll purchase from. Getting a new voltage regulator connector with the same colors as the harness that's in the car. Unless someone here knows what each of the three wires do since I have an image on the case of the OE alternator that shows "S" "on left, "IG" middle, and "L" on right..Image attached as well.

I do currently have a new voltage regulator that I can probably get to work but it would be nice to get one with the same color wires just to be on the safe side. I guess my question is two fold. A little help with the pigtail connector and websites you guys use to buy quality parts.

You could try throwing parts at the alternator you may fix it maybe you'll find something else has failed. Buy the Denso 210-0179 or if you still want to look up parts see here

Just an update. I was able to source a new voltage regulator, rectifier and brushes. Got new bearings pressed on. Replaced the pigtail and the charging system is working great. Thanks for the help guys. Now on to other issues....
