a couple of months ago i had my altanator changed at a dealership and it went out a couple days ago so i changed it and when i did the connector only had one wire going into it I was wondering is there more that cause it seems like there is suppose to

 

1 wire is correct, DON'T BREAK IT!

 

Well, there's actually two of them, the cable bolted down with a 13mm nut and the single wire that runs into the connection. Don't break that smaller wire.

 

Uhh if you had it changed a couple months ago at the dealer I'd be taking it back.

 

I figured he was referring to the 4 wire connector only, not referring to the large gauge cable that is bolted down in the rear of the alternator.

 

thanks for the advice , i would have took it back but it is over 1000 miles away

 

Any GM part installed at the dealership will carry its own 1 year, 12,000 mile warranty - honored at any GM dealership.

So you can take it to a closer dealer to get the alt swapped back out.

 

^^^^+1 on that

 

i made the mistake of breaking the smaller wire when i changed mine..if you break it it is an easy fix but it is a bit of a pain
