Snaggletooth 2 Posted April 8, 2022 (edited) I have a '98 Foreman 450 that is missing its voltage regulator. My problem is that whoever took it cut the plug off also. I have another plug but I'm at a loss with these three identical yellow wires. Is there a way I can tell what order they should go in or am I out of luck here? I could always play the guessing game, but I'd rather not if I can help it. Edited April 8, 2022 by Snaggletooth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishfiles 20,147 Posted April 8, 2022 They are called Y1. Y2, Y3 on the wiring diagram https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/15eWwngQ5SdlsIfbgpm5ZJWJYBYx3vJ7s 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snaggletooth 2 Posted April 8, 2022 Appreciate it. I see they all go to the alternator, so does it not matter what position they go to on the plug then? I'm trying not to burn up anything, if that's even something I need to worry about here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goober 1,555 Posted April 8, 2022 Which harness is cut? The stator subharness or the main? Sub might be easier to scavenge from another stator but the main might be harder to find Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fishfiles 20,147 Posted April 9, 2022 I think I would solder them wires and not use butt connectors ------ You got the Foot Shift or ES Foreman ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll be going back over everything once I get it to spark again so I'll probably do that then. It's a foot shift. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
