Wires on alternator plug

Quick question, I was rewiring my plug on the alternator, the one on the top. Can somebody tell me which side the red wire is on and which side the green wire is on. I forogt to look when I took the plug apart. Thanks.

I have orange on passenger's side, green on driver's. Nothing in the middle.

But mine is a 2000, so watch out for differences.

OK. So I have been having a short with these wires. I tried to disassemble the plug to the alternator yesterday and I pretty much had to tear it apart and ghetto rig it back together. Well needless to say its not working out. So I just need a new plug. Is there any place I can find one of those and splice it in?

Yup! You're in luck!

See:

The proper shrink sleeving will make those insulation colors correct, too!
