    Here's a pic of the VR side of the connector and confirms what we were recommending.

    Nice, I would have never though to look for that.

    Mostly because I have no idea what it’s called?
    I just call it “the connector ON the alternator” :rofl:

    In this day and age, I'm not sure it's appropriate to refer to connectors as male and female. We can call them, gender neutral plugs.

    You guys are absolute saints, wish i could buy you all a case of beer. I naively assumed the diagram was in the orientation of looking a the part installed. re-configured and showing good voltage now. Not getting much throttle though, thinking it might have been a blown fuse along the way, gonna take a good look at all of them

    if your check engine light is on scan the codes and see what came up. There is a fuse for etcs for the throttle control, that if blown will cause to operate in limp mode.
