How to change a alternator belt plus a power steering and air conditioner belt?
On the power steering directly below the pulley and to the front of the car is the tension screw for the air conditioning and power steering belt. Approximately 2 inches back from that screw is the locking nut for the tension screw, this one is tricky to get to as the pulley may be in the road. Loosen this nut and that will allow you to loosen the tension on the belt.

On one of the pulleys you put a 18m socket (long socket) and there's a Bolt on the pulley just turn it one way or another and that will relieve the tension,



Now the 18m was for a ford Taurus

Have you had your voltage regulator checked? It is usually better to have it checked when the car is having problems as the voltage regulator can be tricky and work intermittently.
Car Keeps Dying Even After I Changed Alternator/Battery?
take it to dealer...you have an electrical short.....no amount of parts replacing will make short go away.
could be corroded power cables going to the battery
i agree with the first answer. you have a short. the electrical system can be a tricky monster. unless you consider yourself an expert, take it to a dealer or a shop that will do electrical work.
if its an older car it could have an external voltage regulator which would need replacing... in newer vehicles theyre part of the alternator... or you could have an electrical short. have you recently had a stereo installed? shoddy car stereo installs are notorious for weird electrical problems.
with the car off....have the tech check the battery load with an amp meter... this will tell you if your using current while its not running, meaning possibly somethings on or a short...
Trace the wire between the alternator and the starter. I don't know if your car has one but there might be a small plastic box (or anything that the cable goes into and comes out the other side) with a fuse inside of it. If you find it you can go to NAPA and show them what you have and they can get you one for about 10 bucks. It's a pretty simple fix if that's the problem. If not then I'm sorry. I couldn't tell you.

good luck.

How do I change the alternator in an 1997 Chevry Lumina?

I need to put in an alternator in my car and I would rather do it myself if it's fairly simple. It's so expensive to take it somewhere.

First go get a manual from AutoZone. It cost $13 and it will tell you exactly what to take off to get to it. It is a great investment because sooner or later something else needs to be fix or replaced. so you can go back for reference. good luck

yes i learned it while a mechanic was repairing my car in a highway to home ....This INFO was all that I remember may be You can just call a mechanic and let him tell you on the phone %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;
that belt is under alot of tension dont just unbolt it. ive never worked on a lumina, so i cant walk you through it, but you will probably see a bracket with an adjustment of somekind, like a half-moon rather than just a hole, and when you loosen that youll have to find the bolt the alternator pivots on and just loosen that one too dont remove them yet and try to take tension off the belt by pivoting the alternator.i dont know how many bolts are in this application because iv never worked on this car. but just remember that you must get the tension off the belt before removing it.and a haynes repair manual is a good thing to have.

You can't do this yourself. Believe me it is not easy for a beginner. Take the truck to your neighborhood mechanic, he will only charge you $50 or so. Before you do, why do you think you need an alternator? It should not have gone bad yet.

the alternator is right in front of you. you can't figure it out??
What you need to do is take that wasteful, gas guzzler back to the dealership and get a Honda CRV or other hybrid! Why in the hell would anyone need such a big, ugly, wasteful vehicle?

My wife's Eclipse needs a new alternator.?

I need to replace my wife's alternator on a 99 Eclipse 2.0L non-turbo. I've changed alternators on American cars before, but the Eclipse is confusing. I've pulled off the plate and looked at the belt and I can't figure out the best way to take it off. To make matters worse, it's only accessible from under the car. I need to know how to do it asap!

Can any good mechanic change the alternator to an Audi?

I have a 2001 Audi A4 and the alternator is shot. Should I take it to the dealer, or can any good/reputable mechanic take care of this issue? Is the alternator for the audi common knowledge as it would be for a Nissan/Honda? I know there are some things that one must go to the dealer for....
Can any good mechanic change the alternator to an Audi?
any good repair shop should be able to change that one out,everything don't have to be done to those cars from a dealer,their not that hard of a car to work on,good luck.
Can any good mechanic change the alternator to an Audi?
any good mechanic can change it. Allot of times if you look in the city there are independent shops the specialize in Audi/Volkswagen/Porsche or mercedes etc they are a really good shop to take it too they really know european cars.
I would find a independent mechanic who specializes in german cars. You need a different type of tools to do the job properly.He can also advise you on any other repairs needed and will be cheaper then a dealer.
