How to remove and install an alternator on Chevrolet Cobalt?

The Cobalt, G5, and ION vehicles let you unbolt and guide the alternator out from the engine without much effort, yet you may need extra space to get it done correctly. Start your procedure by untwisting the battery's negative lead cable. Remove both the air filter housing and intake tube if they block any way to get to the alternator. Lift your vehicle properly using jackstands, loosen the nuts on the right front wheel, remove that wheel, and take off the right front fenderwell splash shielding. Disengage the access belt drive, and on 2007 and older 2.0L models, remove the supercharger to reach the alternator. Remove the terminal nuts and take off the electrical cables from the alternator. Keep track of where all connections are placed when reconnecting everything later. Take off the eyelet bracket secured to the engine hoist above the alternator, if you need more space. Taking care, remove and disconnect the bolts holding the alternator in place, and ease it down through the top of the engine space. If your space will not allow you to take out the engine support and mount, move the windshield washer reservoir, put a floor jack under the oil pan, and detach the right-side engine mount to give you room to work. Turning the alternator back into place involves tightening its mounting bolt and all other fasteners during this step. The PCM needs to update itself after disconnecting the battery so it recovers its original driveability and performance settings.

Chevrolet Cobalt Alternator

The device that is popularly known as the Alternator in Chevrolet Cobalt cars is an important unit that functors as a charger to the battery of the car and also feeds electrical units while the car is in motion. It is usually positioned ahead of the engine and works through the interpretation of mechanical energy generated by the engine, into electricity required to supply different parts, battery inclusive. The Alternator works through having a rotating magnetic field with a stationary armature to produce AC that is then transformed into DC to rejuvenate the battery and to power the vehicle's electrical system. Newer vehicles have been programmed to incorporate the voltage regulation function of the automobile through the PCM to warrant the requisite charging volt. For cars with increased electrical loads due to addition of parts, high output alternators might be needed because they are capable of producing a high amount of amps without threatening the integrity of the charging system.

Each OEM Chevrolet Cobalt Alternator we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
