wiring order (colors) for alternator plug

Need wiring order of the three pin oval connector for a 93 4runner 6 cylinder. I was replacing the alternator in the dwindling light and on pulling the plug out the back, it disintegrated and I pushed the remaining pin ends on, but may have confused the order on the new alternator- there is a draw that kills the batt overnight. Right now I have the red closest to the engine, then thick white in middle and yellow on the fender end. I went to a big U-pull-it in Albuquerque to get a replacement but ALL the wiring harnesses had been stolen for the copper :-(( Toyota only sells it as an entire engine harness. I can live without the plug but need the correct color order.

Okay, I tried swapping the yellow and white: no more magnetized alternator, so far no drawdown. I'll take it for a quick cruise to check it out. another issue is the door locks click down all by themselves, usually when opening the door, sometimes just sitting there. I want to disconnect that but which fuse? None list the door locks. If I find the fuse and pull it, what else will not work?
