Battery warning light on

[Mr. Incredible]

It's official... Alternator is toast.

should be part of the 10yr warranty.

I was just under my Genny last night, and was thinking such a big alternator how the hell does one remove it? Good Luck with that skipgen.

A lift is a must... I read the procedure in the Shop Manual. You have to remove the cooling fans & drop the sway bar link. Not a trivial exercise.

Unfortunately, not in my case -- I'm 2nd owner. My "Car Savings Account" is picking up that tab.

All fixed now... They actually said it wasn't that tough to do, a lot easier than a German car. Cost $525 and change for everything. Dropped it off at 1:30 & done by 5:00.

Good deal .. Did the dealer perform the repair? Or did you use an Indy?

Used my Indie shop... I'm sure the dealer would have been closer to $1K. Hyundaipartsdeal.com wanted $405 ($549 before discount) for the part itself. My replacement was a new Bosch.

Good deal! Thats good to know. Thanks for keeping us updated. This weekend I had my Snap-on scanner plugged in , I noticed the volts hover around 12.4- 12.8 or so. That was daytime driving only having the radio on, and whatever systems to run the car. Once you turn on the lights and blower the volts go up to the low 14s. I suppose its one of those features to save fuel?

Yeah... Some cars are able to "throttle" the output. My car was idling when the light came on...

The odd thing is that the light initially came on after installation, then went out. But the alternator is the likely culprit...

Hey , this happened to me I've replaced battery and alternator I'm so confused no one seems to know
