Hi,
I have recently found myself with an alternator that is completely dead. I changed the battery, nothing. When the door is open it will give a weak "ting ting" noise, but even the power locks on the door won't work.
I am trying to get the alternator out of the car. I removed two bolts on the outer passnger side of the car, and removed a bar from a bolt in the back of the alternator. Now I have read that I need to find an idler pulley to loosen the belt so I can remove the alternator.
Can anyone please help me find where this idler pulley is? Or maybe just a suggestion on how to get the alternator out?
I have a 95 Oldsmobile. Cutlass Sierra S. 3.1L 120k miles. Eveything ran good until someone jumped the car wrong. I just want to try and fix it. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks Steph
