    Alternator Wiring Colors

    I’m pulling out my D4BF alternator and needing to rewire my 4D56 male back onto the harness. Like a dingbat, I removed the wires from my connector before noting which end went to which. Anyone have (or can take one) a photo of which wire goes to which side of the male end?

    Missing Gasket (assumed) - D4BF from March 2020 Purchase

    Oil pressure light switch

    4D56/D4BF Anyone know how this operates? Meaning, is the switch wired to a normally open relay? Is it always sending voltage then the relay closes when the pressure is low (i.e. enough voltage) or is the voltage more of an on/off? I'd check it myself, but it's a hard plug so no back pinning.
