When working with an alternator, it is important to pay attention to the polarity connections of the battery when connecting the battery cables. Make sure to connect the correct cable to the corresponding terminal. When testing or adjusting the alternator, it is recommended to install a condenser between the alternator output terminal and the ground to prevent damage to the diode. Do not operate the alternator with the output terminals disconnected as this can damage the diode. When recharging the battery, disconnect the alternator output terminal before connecting the charging leads. When installing a battery, always connect the positive terminal first. Never disconnect the battery while the engine is running or electric weld around the car without disconnecting the alternator. During testing, never apply any voltage in excess of the battery voltage and never jump-start a battery with more than the battery voltage. To remove the alternator, unplug the control harness, remove the battery wire, and loosen the mounting and adjuster hardware. Support the alternator and remove it from the vehicle. For VB engines, the alternator is mounted high on the right-hand side, while V6 alternators are mounted on the right-hand side. To install, reverse the removal steps and adjust the belts accordingly.
