In this video I have a look at some folks 2017 Hyundai SantaFe that left them walking. From the sounds of it, it quit charging. Let’s have a look and get these people back on the road.
-Enjoy!

((🛞🛞))
Excellent video, I am so glad I didn't try to do this on my Santa Fe , I don't have 1/4 of the tools and test equipment you have, nor do I have a lift. Looks like a good knuckle buster as well. You do EXCELLENT work, wish you were in my state. Can I ask how much this alternator replacement cost? Thanks for video
What year is this vehicle?
I had the same year model Hyundai Santa Fe in my shop with the V6 engine and an alternator replacement, what a pain in the neck it was to put an alternator in that vehicle
thank you !
I enjoy reading the comments as much as watching the videos. Eric,you are numero uno in my book! Nuff said
Hes so informative! He definitely knows what hes doing
Excellent work pal, you can do mine lol
Did you forget to put the red and green corrosion fiber washers under the battery cables on the battery posts ????????
This procedure worked perfectly on my 2017 Limited Ultimate 3.3L. Took me about 2 hours in the heat with floor jacks. Thank you!
Thanks Eric for your great videos. I know it can be a lot of extra work. You Rock!
Ty bro. Great visuals/details
Deer hunting already. We have a 3 month wait
The joys of living in a country like the USA where things are readily available and reasonably priced. When my alternator had an issue, the dealer had nothing available and there are no parts stores like Napa etc where I live. I was able to find a private seller of parts by asking around,who sells various small parts for alternators and starters through which I procured a diode pack, regulator and brush holder. I was lucky that someone had the diode pack for this alternator being it has 12 diodes versus the more common six, or my next option would have been to transplant a good diode for the burnt one.
Ahh. A cup of coffee and a great video starring Eric O. before I mow. Looking for more videos.
Here's your comment ..
I replaced my bad denso alternator, with a Pure Power alternator out of Arizona for my Tacoma, and it idles at 212 amps. Now that's some power.
great job
Battery terminal cleaner on a drill. Cool I want one.
Nothing like being in the divider states hope you love your king
Same Car, Just A 2013 Model And Im Going Same Route As You. Ive Removed All 4 Bolts Holding Compressor And The Connection But I Still Have No Play At All.. Any Ideas To What I Could Be Missing?
Good video, he is thorough. Unless I missed it in this video, this didn’t mention torque for the compressor mounting bolts. I went through the four volumes of my factory manual, didn’t see them there or on the web, unfortunately like an idi*t, listened to Google AI at 10 PM last night trying to finish up… 33 lb/ft! Not remembering if those were maybe M10s, I tried it. The aluminum block wasn’t having that nonsense. So much for closing up my wife’s car. Finally Heli-Coiled the M8 threads this morning and put it back together. Calculated it out, and came up with 13–16 Lb/ft if anyone else has run into that issue. BTW, the metal locating bushings are a pressfit, but do corrode in. They are not threaded or heat pressed.
Worked just fine.
Thanks for making the video. Even as an experienced former mechanic, seeing someone go through it helps to save time.
And if a member of my family were stranded, would hope they’d be fortunate enough to wind up in your garage.
Your the bestâ¤â¤â¤
What do you expect, he's from the Carolinas!
You marked the serpentine belt with a marker. LOL the belt has ridges, you can't make a mistake.
Putting the belt back on is so tight I can’t do it I’m stuck at @32:28 any help would be appreciated
It was easier in the eighties. Make sure the battery is charged, turn the AC on max, headlights on bright, if it could hold 13.2 volts at 2000 RPM, it was good to go. If it couldn't, on a chevy, the belt was probably slipping on a worn pulley.
Another great honest video. Thank you.
nice job.
