correct. it may be kind of hard to remove the nut, remove the retaining clip and unlock the other small connector. it was for me at least.
once you have all the wires removed from the alternator. pull the harness up above the engine right above the alternator, next to the coil pack, do your modifications there and then feed the wires back down and put everything back. if you have large hands it might be tough but YOU DO NOT NEED TO REMOVE THE ALTERNATOR! just take your time.

hahaha!
You guys never cease to amaze me. (or make me chuckle)
I don't mind writing it up, though to be honest its much easier to do it if you actually performed the task. The writeup is only as concise as the planning during the task (missing pictures, steps, or tool sizes makes it less than effective)
So.. I will write it up, but only if I have that information (at which point, they'll have alredy done THAT much work, they may as well write it up, too!)
Anyway... If someone just has an absolute disgust for writing things, then I will write it, otherwise it would likely be a better how-to if they wrote it themselves.

So, being lazy, I'm trying to think this through before I actually do any work  I have a flickering battery light, but I have no other symptoms. I mean the car runs perfect, my lights dont dim, instrumentation is all accurate and normal. Only symptom I have anything wrong is a flickering light. Is there some voltages I should be checking first before I go about rewiring stuff? Or is that besides the point for me? If it comes down to it, and I have to rewire this sucker, I could take some good pics and write-up a how-to (kind of ironic after posting how lazy I was huh?)

Test the charge on the battery. Engine off, turn on lights for one minute (should be 12 volts or slightly more).
Test for alternator, car running, voltage should be 14 to 14.5 volts
