Alternator repair instructions

Model: Chevrolet Matiz MK 1 - Years 1998-2010
Part: Alternator

If the battery warning light remains on on the instrument panel, then it means that the alternator has stopped recharging due to a fault in the regulator plate which also includes the brushes: performing this repair is quite simple, above all because it is very easy to find the spare. Then start by disconnecting the battery poles and then remove the alternator from its seat; once placed on the bench, remove the plastic cover to access the plate, unsolder the winding contacts and remove the old plate to be able to install the new one, subsequently welding the contacts and removing the stop from the brushes; then proceed backwards to install the alternator and check that the battery warning light remains off after starting the engine.
