What happens here

Tighten the alternator belt. The creator notes that this step was overlooked earlier but is important for the vehicle's electrical system. This typically involves loosening tensioner bolts, adjusting the alternator's position to apply tension to the belt, and then re-tightening the bolts.

Goal: Ensure proper tension on the alternator belt for efficient charging.

Tools and materials

  • Alternator — The component with the belt to be tightened
  • Wrenches — Loosening and tightening alternator mounting/tensioner bolts
