• Q: How to replace the alternator on 2003 Buick Park Avenue?

  A: The replacement process of l36 component requires users to start by disconnecting the negative Battery Cable and then removing the belt and sight shield of the fuel injector. The next step involves removing both the fasteners securing the generator brace and then removing the brace completely. The procedure starts with disconnecting the wiring harness connector at the generator position then moving the protective boot from the bat terminal area to access the generator output terminal before removing its terminal nut connecting the battery positive lead. You should first remove the generator mounting bolts which will make it possible for you to take the generator out of the vehicle. Place the generator on the engine then attach the mounting bolts while tightening them to 50 n.m (37 lb ft). The wiring harness connector needs to be connected to the generator before securing the positive lead with its bat terminal nut by tightening it to 12.5 n.m (111 lb in). Attach the protective boot over the generator output bat terminal followed by generator brace installation and fastener tightening where the brace nut connects at 50 n.m (37 lb ft) and the brace bolt requires 25 n.m (18 lb ft). Afterward the service technician must reinstall the fuel injector sight shield and Drive Belt following the reconnection of the battery negative cable.
