Default help w/ alternator wires

My alternator plug off the engine harness rotted. I found a company online that sales replacement alternator plugs.

The original three wires that went to the alternator plug were white, yellow, red/turquoise.

I need to know which wire goes in which position in the plug so I don't fry something.

Does any one have a 94-96 camry that can look at their alternator? There is a little rubber boot covering the plug, you can simply slide it back to see the wires and their respective positions.

Thanks,
Ryan

Thanks! That solves it. I had deduced from a wiring manual that I *thought* that was the way it should go, but was not sure.

I installed my repair harness, and new alternator is working. Thanks again!
