Alternator overcharging, need to drive to garage how to disconnect


Recommended Posts

Hi All, as title suggests i have more issues.......

i cant get to the back of the alternator (as the short runner is in the way) and need to disconnect it to get to a garage (overcharge is boiling the battery!) does anyone know if its daisy changed from the starter motor live? and could i remove that live once the engine is started?

cheers

steve

I think you could cut the power to the alternator by undoing the grounding on the transmission bell housing but it seems like it would be pretty tough to get to it while the engine is running. I'm always afraid of getting chopped up by the cooling fans sticking my arms into a running engine bay.

could you remove the alternator pulley and put a shorter belt on for the temporary time being?
