AnthonyJ350 appreciate the feedback 🙏
@@loosebolts4537 had overheat after, mechanic told me he didnt touch the coolant🤣🤣🤣... funny he had to bleed the line to fix the issue tho... thanks bro.
Keep the videos coming! Good lighting bro, I see you getting better each video.
J- Ram thanks bro lighting is one of the things I was working to improve in this video great feed back
Best video I’ve seen on this, what symptoms were you getting? Did the brake and battery lights turn on?
Yes sir
Same here
Yep same
Yup something alot of people don't talk about is the early warnings ⚠️. For me it was the brake lights, vdc lights and eventually every light and then boom it left me stranded
@@basedale bro wtf this just happen to me at 3am on my way to work
Check your fusable link on the positive battery terminal , it is not this issue but it will fail and then you will get no power . Sometimes garages hook them up wrong so always check this after its serviced , peace
super helpful lol but why didnt u check the relays fuses etc before doing the heavy labor on the alternator what exactly are u experiencing
best video on youtube for this man thank you!!
I’m happy it helped!
Thank you for this video , i removed alternator and had it tested, passed . . I was like well ill know what to do if i need one . Next ill check the fuses . What i was wondering about was the cable going to alternator from battery , my battery keeps corroding and its new .
I would suggest swapping out the connector that makes contact with the battery in the battery terminal it’s like 3 dollars at auto zone
Awesome will do that as well
I did my moms from the top on her infinity m35 looks very similar except I didn’t have to take out the fan piece on the front.
Future reference get a set of speed wrenches/Rachet wrenches they are your best friend!! Great video thanks swapping mine over to my new motor
Thanks. Just watched this to help my buddy fix his in an a&w parking lot haha. It worked well had all the information we needed!
Glad it helped! Haha that’s what’s up!
Can you make a video of what the alternator bracket is connected to is it connected to the cable wire
I do not have the car anymore, it is connected to the cables you don’t need to remove the bracket just the bolts that hold it in place.
I took off idel pulley how do i replace
What engine is this? Is this the 3.3?
Sup man it’s the vq35 makes it the 3.5. No mention of the year because there’s many as long as it’s a 350 or g35 process is the same as the engine hasn’t changed.
I got stuck yesterday.. car went into limp mode with every light flashing... battery is not even throwing out 1 V... I guess after 10 years its time to replace the battery. Hope that's all it is and not the alternator but looked it up, just in case. Looks like a real bitch to do! Thanks for the great video! I will make sure to check the fuses when popping in the new battery when it arrives Friday.
@@ScamCast thanks bud! Sorry that happened to you. Hopefully you are all fixed up and back on the road. This turned out to be just the battery. The battery I had was 8 years old and possibly closer to over 10 years. Not bad for one of those walmart batteries I had put in there. Picked up a redtop battery this time simply because it was easiest to get and its been working like a charm! These cars are so solid. Love the Infiniti!
@@ScamCast I hear ya.. that does not sound to fun but its done and fixed and better that it happened now than the middle of January right. Last thing anyone needs to be doing is crawling under a car getting greasy all bundled up in the middle of winter.
Can you make a video showing with thecan you make a video showing with the
Should of shown the fuses and location of them
Your right number 1 question that comes across, it a fuse box right next to the battery. Believe it’s a 10 amp fuse but double check.
hey brother i am going to sub to u because you saved me a lot of money of and if i could recommend something list the socket sizes next time in the description. much love
That’s solid feed back I sure will thanks. I know I’m this video I used a 14, 12 and I think 6 mm on the small bolts on the bracket connected to the alternator. Hope this helps.
Great video. Which fuse was blown?
I'm having the same issue with my g35 and its been sitting for a year after i gave up on it. I came back to researching again and been hearing a lot about the fuses possibly being an issue. Any specific info would help tremendously.
The fuse box that sits on the battery tray
It’s a 10amp fuse
@@loosebolts4537 Thanks bro
@@loosebolts4537 do you know which code it was?
do you need to install the 8 mm at the back?
looks not needed!!!!
I just replaced mine and after trying for an hr to get them in i decided to leave them out.
@@alnorth4468how’s it working for you?
Whoa!
What N where the fuses bro?? My car started with the battery light N parking light last night at Taco bell. I need to step outside N start taking my car apart to see whats going on
There’s a fuse box in the battery compartment area right next to the battery hope this helps.
@@loosebolts4537 appreciate it brother 🤝..it ended up being my alternator then the month after my starter took a crap 😐. Damnn car lol I just hit 170k 2 days ago
What did the fuse prevent your car from doing?
Curious if anyone has heard of the correlation between the wheel being really out of alignment causing the break and battery light to come on? Ive only read of one person saying that it can also cause these lights to stay on.
I hit a pothole pretty hard and my alignment is very bad. If I let go of the wheel it does a sharp left turn.
When I put the car on the trailer power steering fluid leaked everywhere including the alternator. Maybe It possibly shorted it out? I checked every fuse and cleaned every ground. The brake and battery light stays on unless I rev the engine it goes away. I know for sure that its not the battery. Car has 212k on it so its most likely the alternator. I just replaced the starter.
Just sucks that I have to go through all of this crap just to remove the alternator. Oh well I guess, I just need to get this fixed asap.
I cant drive it more than 5 miles before it goes into limp mode.
I will have the alternator tested of course before I purchase a new one. Plus I rather have the core refunded right away.
If for whatever reason it isnt the alternator, then could it be that the tow is so negative on the driver's side. I have an awd G35X so maybe its more sensitive with the sensors in the front? Hopefully it is the alternator though.
If for whatever reason it turbs out to be good, Ill try to remind myself to update this comment. Just in case someone else runs into the same problem.
Whatever I hit, it was a hard impact. Because my whole plastic tire well liner is completely gone. Also my front license plate fell off too. I think I hit a damn pothole since they are a plague in the city I live in. Its dangerous when they are on the highway and you hit one going highway speeds. All I know is that it was late at night so It caught me off guard. I hit it pretty hard and as soon as my front wheels made contact with the highway it pulled me into the wall where I was barely able go save it from getting scratched all to hell. It did get my side mirrors though.
I made a complaint to the city, I doubt they will patch it right away. Im also certain that Im not the only person to fall victim to this damn pothole either.
I will now avoid that lane altogether. I checked the suspension and nothing appears to be bent. So Im not sure why the tow is so negative? The whole wheel is maybe an inch from contacting the fender. I will take care of that issue another day. I just need to get the car to run without those lights staying on. They go away when I accelerate, but then itll suddenly go into limp mode. Its quite frustrating, I wish that I had a way to test the alternator while its still in the car. I wonder if my obdII scanner can detect any voltage readings? I never checked but it does give all kinds of reading though. I use this app called Torque, Im going to see if does. It should be showing how many volts? Ill just look that up, Im really not trying to remove this alternator unless I absolutely have to.
Have you checked the fuses in the fuse box by the battery start there that’s all this video was after I removed everything. It was a 10 amp fuse. Hope this helps with the lights staying on!
Great video!
Love the video about to do this myself but I'm curious where is that blown fuse located, help a brother out.
It was in the area next to the battery, take the cover and plastic shroud that the cover connects to and you’ll see a fuse box underneath.
What fuse was it bro
ninjaprom8 _ I forgot which one it was I know it was a 10 amp.
Can u post a video of this
Life saver 🫡 appreciate this video G
Thanks for watching
So it wasn’t the alternator so what was the issue to start with cause…..
mentioned at the end, was a 10 amp fuse, near the fuse box by the battery my man.
How long did it last? Were u able to get some miles before it died
do you have to drain the coolant?
You don’t have to drain the coolant reservoir but yes drain the radiator from the drain hose.
Did u have to bleed air from the system after removing the radiator hoses??
Yea but you do this after you connect the hoses you bleed the air though the bleeder valve on the coolant like let the air come out slowly till it starts spitting coolant.
last night after work it wouldnt turn on and waited like 5 minutes and it decided to to tun on would it be my alternator?
Check the fuse near the battery tray first it’s a 15 amp fuse I believe start there.
@@loosebolts4537 thanks ill check later today
I cannot for the life of me get the positive terminal back on the alternator like their is no room to reach my hand behind the alternator after its bolted back in i hate this car !!! ( 06 g35 sedan please help!!!
I honestly forgot my man it’s been a minute and I don’t have the car anymore
I’m having this problem on my 03 g35 sedan I replaced the alternator but it isn’t getting power at all, which fuse box did you check
Fuse box was right next to the battery, was a 10amp fuse.
@@loosebolts4537 ok thanks I will check it and see it’s crazy because before the alternator replacement I had power my dash was on but I just couldn’t get the car cranked but then when I got the alternator replaced I tried to put the battery terminals on and the terminals were smoking every time I tried to put the negative on it would spark and start smoking
@@lataviousturner9686 had the same issue with the engine not cranking yea to get to the fuse box if it’s the same as a coupe you may need to remove the battery this is how close the fuse box is there should be two and that’s what confused me as I would check one fuse box and all fuses were good it’s a hidden fuse box.
@@loosebolts4537 ok thanks man I will keep you updated and let you know if I get the situation fixed
how long of a job was it to replace the altenator? i gotta do it this week hopefully
Maybe an hour or two.
@@loosebolts4537 i did it took about 3 give or take thanks
How much will It cost me to have a new alternator put in a 2007 Infiniti G 35 by a general mechanic not the dealership?
Depends on where your at labor rates vary, your looking at maybe 2 hrs for labor plus the cost of the alternator
@@loosebolts4537 I hear you when it comes to labor costs, I get that. How much do you think an alternator would run roughly? I'm looking for a ballpark figure
@@lablvr6000 anywhere from 80-125 for an alternator.
@@loosebolts4537 Thanks for the help anyway, it ended up the alternator and the battery were fine, it was somewhere in a cellinoid and there was small leak of some sort. I ended up trading it in and picking up a 2018 Acura TLX. Very nice car and it rides like a dream😀 I wanted a Lexus IS 350 but that was a bit too much money right now considering job situations so we scaled back a little bit and picked up an Acura. There is a lot more room in the TLX than the Lexus IS
@@lablvr6000 awesome new cars are fun enjoy it.
What fuses are you talking about
Cesar Calvillo fusebox locates at the battery tray, remove the battery and you’ll find it.
How similar is this process to a 2006 m35 ?
Im not sure haven’t worked on one, hopefully someone watching can answer this question.
My g35 I just changed the battery today still shows battery indicator and oil indicator when trying to start it starts and shuts off a few seconds later
Make sure the battery connectors are clean and making full contact with the battery terminal, I had to swap out one of the connectors that connected to the terminal cause it was bad. Or check your air intake, if the air intake is loose or disconnected it could be choking the engine causing it to shut back down after it starts.
@@loosebolts4537 I appreciate it man I will definitely check it out in the morning my uncle keeps saying it’s the alternator but I don’t think it is . But now it tries to start and won’t start at all
@@jant2699 well it still could be honestly I wouldn’t completely rule it out, why it won’t start now it’s sucking power from the battery even while off, that’s why with the fresh new battery it started but cut off. But either way it’s easy job and somewhat inexpensive if you do it your self just sucks draining that radiator.
Also if your currently Not gonna drive the car I’d suggest keeping the battery disconnected cause it’ll drain it if you leave it.
@@loosebolts4537 I’m thinking of letting a mechanic do the alternator I know nothing about cars really and was just happy I was able to switch the battery out and everything . I’m glad it’ll be inexpensive Ive had this car for almost a month ! Thank you for all the input seriously appreciated
What fuses I should look?
It was in the area next to the battery, take the cover and plastic shroud that the cover connects to and you’ll see a fuse box underneath. It was a 10 amp
is this same as sedan
It’s similar not exactly the same
What fuses did you end up having to replace in the hidden fuse box?
Was a 10 amp fuse, in the fuse box by the battery
what cars altenator can you put in G35
I don’t have a list I know there are several I can tell you for sure any year model 350z or g35. But I think there’s like pathfinders and other infiniti models of the year but not completely sure which ones
Do you know what fuses you replaced
Not sure which one it was labeled at, it’s a 10 amp fuse located in the fuse box on your battery tray.
Ok cool thank you, I really appreciate it.🔥
The music in the background is horrible
Fuse diagram might be similar to m35...#36 10amp next to battery czcams.com/video/3QFnLFu4j8w/video.html
