Alternator Pins? 2001 Maxima SE

[Megatron88]

Was looking at Bosch altenators and it has to choices depending on if the pins are aligned like -- or l ? Says most models are the -- alignment but besides taking the thing off as I'm not a big DIYer does anyone know which versions have the l alignment? Plan on taking it somewhere and having the part already as to not pay some markup.

Welcome to NICO.

You have 2 options - find the production date of your car or simply look at the actual orientation of the alternator connector. Production date TO 06/2001 uses Bosch AL 2389 X while FROM 06/2001 has AL 2374
