The alternator is located at the front left (when facing the engine), just above the air conditioning compressor; to remove it easily, it is suggested to remove the fan assembly first. First, unclip the auxiliary drive belt by loosening the appropriate tensioner, and proceed with unscrewing the fixing pins and the cables connected to it. Once these operations are completed, try to extract the alternator from below and then proceed with installing the new one. In this regard, it is also advisable to consider installing a refurbished alternator.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
