i am replacing my alternator for the second time in the 4 years i have owned my lexus. first time was a simple fix but this time it seems a little harder. took off the old alternator and tried to plug in the new one and the plug seems to be too big for the hole. is this a common problem or am i doing something wrong. does anyone have a pic of a alternator plug so i can see if there is something wrong with my plug. i need help!!

 

ya someone sold u the wrong one?! what year is ur car and where did u get and what is the part number they sold u...should have bought denso u wouldnt be replacing it again so soon

 

Yeah you got the wrong one, you might be able to remedy it by getting the round plug from a junkyard and splicing it into your factory harness.
