I recently changed the alternator on my 95 eldorado. Heres what i found . . .
Since the Northstar motor is transverse you need to remove alot of parts to get access to it. When changing mine i had to CAREFULLY remove the plastic vlaences over the headlights, radiator fans, air cleaner and housing, transmission cooler, and radiator to get to it. Im sure im missing something, but you will know once you ge working on it. Once you have access to the alternator, remove the serpentine belt, and then you will be able to remove the bolts for the alternator. Label each one, because they are all different, and have specific spots. Theres 5 if i remember correctly. After the old alternator is removed you obviously get a new one.
IMPORTANT: There is a difference between the Eldorado and Eldorado ECT alternators. Be sure you get the right one.
After that's all sorted out, its a matter of putting the new alternator in, putting on, and tensioning the belt, and then putting all of the other parts back in. Dont be scared of thisoperation. All of these parts are easy to remov and install. This is a time consuming process, and it isn't a bad idea to have 2 people working on it. But think of all the money youll save in labor costs at a shop!
Good luck,
