How To Unplug Alternator Exciter Wire
How To Unplug Alternator Exciter Wire Doing poly motor mounts today. I got the alternator unbolted but I can't get the small red wire on top out. It looks like it goes into a large plastic piece on the alternator that I can hardly see or reach. Is it just the wire that comes out or does the whole plastic piece come out? Does either have clips that must be depressed?
Thanks,
Steve

Be very careful with that wire,if you brake it you be up ***** creek your car will not charge.I used a very small screwdriver .Release the cilp by pushin it toward the firewall and pull it up.
Thanks guys,
I was able to just set the alternator on the sway bar without unplugging it. Man what a pain - it took me 7 hours to do just the driver's side. I will do the passenger's side in a couple of weeks.
Deffinitely necessary for me. My mounts were completely shot allowing the motor to move a good inch. Contact with the K member was starting to dent my headers.
