Ok so this morning i get up and take the celi to get the front end aligned and i get some exhaust work done and on the way home my battery light comes on, i am almost 100 percent sure its my alternator seeing as the genius that welded my exhaust pipe didnt disconnect my battery. please correct me if im wrong but has anyone ever heard of the battery light coming on the ST under any other circumstances?

anyone? also im having some issues getting the alternator off, i dont see any bolts that would be holding it on but how many are needed all together to get it off?

that's why you should always disconect the battery and alternator. It's probably blown the diode pack.

keith

so replacing the alt should fix it?

the Battery Light means that the voltage out of the Alternator is not hight enough to run the car - which means your rectifier? on the Alternator is shot. you can actually replace just that part if you go to a good Starter / Alternator Shop.

i know theres the swivel bolt, the tightener bolt and there should be one more

thank you both, it got it off and back on just fine and the celi is running again
