Saturn Ion Alternator
The Alternator used in Saturn Ion cars is an essential unit that has a dual role was a battery charger and an electrical generator, which convert mechanical energy from the engine to electrical energy. This is formed through the function of the rotor inside the stator windings to produce the AC current that is later converted to DC power supply to charge the battery and supply the electricity needs of the vehicle. Lt called Saturn Ion vehicles may contain standard and high output alternators. High output alternators are most advantageous for vehicles which have greater electrical loads for instance after-market equipment or modifications. These units can deliver much higher amperage than your car charging system without harming the charging system because they only supply the circuits with the current that they need. In the overall management of the electrical aspect of the Saturn Ion, the alternator plays a very crucial role and this depends on how it is designed as well as how it works.
Each OEM Saturn Ion Alternator we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
Saturn Ion Alternator Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to remove and install an alternator on Saturn ION?A: Disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal. On models where it visibly prevents access to the alternator, remove the air filter housing and intake tube. Loosen the right-front wheel lug nuts, raise the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands, then remove the right-front wheel. Remove the right-front fenderwell splash shielding. Remove the accessory drivebelt. On 2007 and earlier 2.0L models, remove the supercharger for access to the alternator. Unscrew the terminal nut(s) and disconnect the electrical connections from the alternator, noting the correct terminal locations for installation. If you cannot easily access the electrical connections at this time, wait until the alternator has been unbolted and repositioned, then disconnect the electrical connections. If equipped, unbolt and remove the engine hoist eyelet bracket located above the alternator. On HHR models, remove the radiator upper support brackets to allow the radiator/condenser assembly to be tilted slightly forward for additional clearance. Remove the 3 alternator mounting bolts, then carefully guide it out of the top of the engine compartment. If the alternator still doesn't have enough room for removal, it may be necessary to unbolt and disconnect the windshield washer reservoir and fluid lines/washer pump electrical connector (HHR models), then, while supporting the engine using a floor jack and block of wood placed evenly under the engine oil pan, remove the right-side engine mount. Raise or lower the engine slightly to allow for better clearance to remove the alternator. Installation is the reverse of removal. Tighten the alternator mounting bolts, and all other fasteners, where mentioned. Whenever the battery has been disconnected, the PCM must relearn its former drivability and performance characteristics.
