Middle of Alternator Replace...two ?s
Okay, seems pretty straight forward, however.........
As I was getting in to the project I noticed a wire disconnected from this part. Could this have something to do w/the alt. not working? Anyone know what the part is? It is located below and right of the fan housing. Second ? is that in the tech article, it does not seem to mention this alt. cover? Anyone else have this? Is it a simple unbolt and remove, well not simple b/c the nuts are inaccessible....

I think you're looking at the oil pressure and/or oil temp senders....not directly related to the alternator's function.
Maybe this helps? http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/911_volt_reg_replace/911_volt_reg_replace.htm ---Wil Ferch

Thank you Wil, heading back to the garage now....it is never as easy as it seems is it? Anything w/flexible, patience and small hands are a plus worries me.

Jeff, I found that when iwas doing my alternator, it might be easier to get at the thing if you remover the heating air duct...
...I wanted to R&R the CIS, so I ended dropping the motor! E-mail me if you need pictures and long winded instructions. |

I just got it out....not a bad as I thought. The new one is on the way, hopefully this will take care of my ignition problems.
