Alternator (Fa20): Removal

Disconnection of the battery ground terminal

The molding may be damaged when the doors are opened or closed after disconnecting the battery ground terminal when the glass is completely closed. Therefore, always disconnect the battery ground terminal with the driver's or passenger's seat door open (with the glass lowered to a position that allows free door opening and closing).
