yes mine did!
Check the belt on your alternator. If it is not tight enough it will squeal on a Rodeo. Be sure to get it checked soon or your belt could fall off or burn up your alternator and then you are stuck!!
Sure, if the bolts come out the alternator can fall out. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ possible but very unlikely if installed correct in the first place
unbolt it, take the belt off, take the wires off the alternator and replace with new alternator.
take the belt off the alternator and take out the 3 bolts that hold the alternator to the engine and unplug the wires that plug into it and you have it off.
If the alternator is working properly then it should go off onec the engine has started. If it does not then you probably have afaulty alternator.
The alternator output should fall between 13.5 to 14.5 volts.The alternator output should fall between 13.5 to 14.5 volts.
No, the regulator in the alternator only regulates when the alternator is charging (alternator must be rotating).
Check out autozone.com which has online repair manuals. The manual (which is almost a copy of chilton's manual) says to rotate the tensioner and pull off the belt before removing the alternator.
The inverter isn't run off the alternator... it's run off the battery. The alternator simply recharges the battery.
Dead easy, take drive belt off power steering pump. Slacken off alternator's two 13mm nuts, push down on spring loaded alternator, take off alternator belt, put on alternator belt. Reverse process. Job done
I own the nxt year's model, but if the '89 is anything like the '90, then this might work for you. The alternator is located underneath the air conditioner compressor. This is on the left hand side of the vehicle if you are looking at the car with the hood up. The compressor has all manner of tubes coming off of it with pressure valves on the tubes, and a belt hooked to it. Directly underneath the compressor is the alternator. The alternator has a drive belt attached to it and a single cable attached to the body that splits off four ways. Detatch the cable. then, at the front of the alternator (towards the front of the car), there is a bolt tyhat needs to come off. loosen the bolt and take it out; the alternator should shift downwards, giving you enough play to take the drive belt off. once you remove the drive belt, there is a bolt that needs to come off of the other side (towards the rear of the vehicle) of the alternator. loosen this bolt, take it off. and be careful to get all of the rubber washers in case they fall off, there are two. your alternator should now be removed from the chassis, and you can take it out of the car. I took my oil filter off of my car to let the alternator off more easily; just do whatever works. Then check what model your alternator is and buy a new one. reverse the steps to put the thing back in.
No, the alternator is used to charge the battery apperently.
