If you need instructions, then you can't work on vehicles

How do you know the alt need replacing?
What sort of test was performed,it may be okey

Check all connections and especially the ground connections...there should be two ground locations one at the engine block and one at the body

Could be a short. Have you checked the voltage at the battery with the car running? Is it over 14 volts?

disconnect the negative battery. remove the belt by rotate the tensioner roller clockwise. from the left car side u will see three hexagon screw 13mm under the altenator. loose out the screw and remove the altenator. before that unplug the two wire behind the altenator.tq

were talking about the big fat wire right? runs to the starter where the positive battery cable connects. Be sure the connections are clean and shiny bright on that cable and the battery connections and the starter connections. Make sure where the alternator bolts to the engine theres no corrosion and the bolts themselves are clean too, thats the ground for the alternator. Check the ground cable on the battery where it bolts to the body and or the engine too.

1. Disconnect the battery first.

2. Remove all the connectors on the back of the altenator.
3. Remove the screws holding the wires to the altenator.
4. remove the bolts connecting the altenator to the engien block.

Installation in reverse order.

hope this helps

its not hard to replace an alternator,,,there are 2 bolts that hold it in place that you have to take out.make sure you take the pos battery cable loose so you dont short anything out , once you remove the bolts he alternator will move freely there is a wiring harness hooked to the back of it that you have to take loose and then you can pull the alternator off the try.you put it back the same way you took the old one off and when you go to tighten the belt you need a prybar to apply tension against the alternator and then as you keep that tension on therer you tighten the golts to keep the belt tight. thats about all there is to it
