2001 GT 4.6L SOHC- X engine code.

Recently had both the power wire and the plastic pigtail connector fry. Buying a new alternator and everyone Ive talked to said the pigtail should have three wires. The one on this car only has two. The connector has space for three wires but only the outer two have wires in them. The center or second of the three wires is not present on the car. I peeled back the elec. tape and loom to see if it had burned back but its simply not present. When I get the new pigtail i ordered itll have three wires because thats all ford and other auto parts stores say they have. None have ever even heard of an 01 with a two wire connector. Is there going to be an issue simply not using the middle wire on the pigtail? I'm really at a loss on this.
