How to Solve the Alternator Problem on a Hyundai i20

Model: Hyundai I20 GB, IB, MK 2 - Years 2014-2021
Part: Alternator

In this video, we see that on the Hyundai i20, the battery light and ABS light illuminate upon starting and remain on, and the steering becomes difficult to manoeuvre. After much deliberation, a friend suggested trying to disconnect the alternator; indeed, this could be a symptom of a fault in this component. The YouTuber immediately accepted the advice and opened the bonnet; the alternator connector is conveniently located at the front of the engine. Once disconnected, the ABS light went off, while the battery light remained on (as it is not being charged). Unfortunately, the only solution is to replace the alternator.
