Do not try to get this alternator out from the bottom like some videos say maybe its just the 2003 but we can not fit it out the bottom and trying to get condenser loose is a bitch better to just do it the right way like hes doing here
What was the reason you had to change? My 2003 Seville won't turn over, brand new battery, we narrowed it down to a faulty alternator draining charge over night.
It stopped charging. We were quite a way from home and the dash lights and a warning came on 'Charging System Fault' or something and we barely made it home. It took a while, but was nice when it was complete. Still runs strong today!
@@JayUJay hey man! I’m getting a Seville with 63,000 miles and it looks like it’s still being used occasion, what are some of the things that I should be looking out for? Godspeed!
@@luisdaroczi8181 Brake and transmission lines. That is what is failing next on this old girl. Repairable, but looks like a weak point, especially if you live where they treat the roads for snow and stuff.
**Please help** Problem I'm having . Didn't start car for week . It git cold while I was away . Went to start car and it's completely dead. Used Stanley 1200 portable jumper took but but lights work radio on . But when I turn key it just clicks tapping sound but won't turn on. Battery only two years old . Is it battery or starter alternator etc. I don't have much money . No one to help me . Will a jump from car be better then Stanley jumper or no ? Should I buy battery . Don't want to take repair guy cause they will charge too much.
Good idea to get people to click, having your cat up there. I thought I was the only one with that problem. I have a cat always trying to help, but he knows nothing about fixing cars. LOL
I think the oil filler port is right above the alternator, and before mine failed, I may have spilled a bit of oil over the edge, possibly finishing off the alternator? will never know.
I'm not too sure, I don't think they were too dirty, or I just powered through it. Take a look at the replacement for sizes and positions. Good luck, it was a pita, but worth it as she is still going strong- needs transmission cooling likes and brake lines next-
have a 2004 changing mine now. stupid ideal to put it there. think I am going to buy a old car
The contest caddy is in the shop now for an engine swap. :( Wife was caught in a microburst and attempted 2' water; which hydrolocked the norstar...

Get a good battery charger. Tractor supply has some. And put it on the battery for a couple days.

She is support and calms me down when I lose the 10mm sockets or something. :)
@@JayUJay right?! Why is it always the 10mm? LoL
Mine have lots of oil and dirt on them

I’m at the point where it’s time to disconnect the alternator electrical wires. How did you remove the 2 wires on the back of alternator
