Re: Sonata Alternator Removal...

Well, I am glad you told me the way to do it, had to do it again, as it didn't work. So I pulled it and took it to Murray's (O'Reilly's now). The only thing I couldn't check was the regulator. It looked pretty straightforward, but had two extra connections that looked like an input to the TCM, and an output from the TCM.
So it failed on the tester at the auto parts store, and they ordered me a new one $201 and lifetime warrantee.
I could have gotten a new regulator board at various places for $115 to $150, 3 month warrantee. Hmm which is the way to go, there, that didn't take long to figure out...
So I will post again after the unit comes in.
