    1998 E38 728I alternator terminal

    Hi, alternator caught fire the other day, turns out the electrical bit ontop went bad, too melted to fix so I purchased a used one.
    My alternator was a valeo 120a 3 pin the used one is a 2 pin 120a
    Was wondering what the pins are for? In terms of use and whether I can run a 2 pin alternator on a 3 pin connection? Cheers
