In this video young mechanic Aiman will share with you ways on how to remove and install alternator on a 2003 Honda Accord 2.4L engine. The process should be the same for all Honda models DX LX EX especially Accord years 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007.
In summary, the steps are as follows:
Disconnect negative battery cable.
Remove drive belt.
Remove alternator connector and main power wire (10mm)
Remove three bolts securing alternator to the engine block.
Remove alternator from car through the power steering hose and AC line.
Installation is opposite of removal.
Although there are many auto repair tutorial videos out there, some of which are done by professional mechanics, young Aiman, an aspiring mechanical engineer, hopes that his step-by-steps / instructions on how to remove / install aternator on Honda Accord vehicles would be entertaining and useful to other DIY persons who are interested in repairing their own cars.
How your car’s alternator works:
The alternator, which is located on the engine, provides power to the battery and continuously charges the battery and the car’s electrical systems and computers. Its primary job is to keep the electrical system up and running in place of the battery. The battery’s job is to start the car, and the alternator keeps it running.
Signs your alternator is failing:
In some cases, when an alternator is about to die, there are a few warning signs.
Identifying what those signs are can signal you to have it checked by a mechanic, which can save you from being stranded on the road.
One of the most common signs of a faltering alternator is when the headlights start pulsating at night, from dim to bright.
Some alternators may stop working if they are charging several electronics at once.
Other signs may include an electrical burning smell coming from the alternator, or the battery, the alternator warning light or other dashboard warning lights turning on.
A struggling alternator may also cause your car radio or other electrical components to work intermittently, or cause a squealing noise in your car’s engine.
