Hyundai OEM Alternator testing and replacement

How to test the charging system, battery light, voltage drop, alternator regulator. How to remove and install a new alternator.
This video covers 2006-2011 Hyundai Accent all models.

Update:
I tried to reuse the oil filter and it leaked over a week. Please put a new one on. Seems once the seal is used on the oil filter trying to reuse it will not seal properly. So put a new one on.

Please watch the 3 part belt installation series as some needed close-up in these videos may assist you when torquing bolts, connecting wire harness to items deep in the engine bay. Belt tension is not covered in this video so watch those other videos to get the proper info. Explanation of the excite resistor in detail is located in this article at Hyundai Forums. Autospark helped explain this excite resistor circuit.

Please note some bolts have a number stamped on top which could effect torque. Here's a post from a user who had this issue: So, all that said, it looks like 2006's (at least mine) shipped with a grade 4 bolt installed in the tension lock position. IKB, it might be worth mentioning this in your video, just in case. I'd for someone else to run into the same problem I did as the head on that bolt is easily seen and I wouldn't have even considered that it might not be a grade 8 like the others.
