• Q: How to replace the alternator in an AWD on 2006 Cadillac SRX?

  A: First disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the generator Drive Belt when performing replacement work on an awd generator. The next step involves uninstalling the upper generator mounting bolts (1, 3) before lifting and supporting the vehicle in position. Start by removing the front air deflector while also removing the front wheels and right side wheelhouse liner from the system. Access the generator by first detaching right and left side stabilizer shaft links at the lower Control Arm followed by rotating the stabilizer shaft downwards. Utilize the wheelhouse opening to reach the generator by employing bolt cutters on the wiring harness tie strap followed by lower generator bolt removal to free the item from its bracket for connector and generator output bat terminal nut observation. First disconnect the wire harness electrical connector then move the protective boot from the generator output battery terminal while removing the generator output battery terminal nut before separating the battery positive lead from the generator. Begin by placing the generator near its final location then link the battery positive lead to the generator followed by installing the generator output battery terminal nut while tightening it to 10 n.m (89 lb in). Lift the protective boot over the generator output bat terminal before connecting the wiring harness and placing the generator on the generator bracket. The initial step involves installing the lower generator mounting bolt before vehicle lowering and then tightening the upper generator bolts in a specific sequence to 50 n.m (37 lb ft). Follow the support of the vehicle to install a new tie strap that holds the wiring harness to the generator and then proceed with installing the stabilizer shaft links on the lower Control Arm and right side wheelhouse liner and front wheels and front air deflector. You should lower the vehicle while installing the generator Drive Belt before reconnecting the battery's negative cable.
