Disconnecting the Alternator

1

Any time you plan to work on your vehicle, safety is paramount. Because you may need to jack the vehicle up, make sure it’s parked on a surface that’s suitable for the work. It should be evenly paved and flat.
Even if you don’t have the jack the car up, it’s easier to work on an even surface.
Ensure the vehicle is park, or has the parking brake engaged (if equipped with a standard transmission).

Disconnect the battery.
Find the right socket to loosen the bolt that keeps the cable on the negative terminal tight. It’s the terminal of the battery with a visible (-) sign. Once it’s loose, slide the cable off the terminal to disconnect the battery. Never work in the engine bay of a vehicle without first disconnecting the battery for safety.
Working on the alternator without disconnecting the battery could result in getting shocked or damaging the vehicle.
You can leave the positive cable attached.
