I won't work on a Mazda anyway.Remind me to never let you work on my cars
what happened?
I was tightening my alternator belt, and the one time I don't disconnect my battery I shorted it out with my ratchet. So I'm pretty sure I blew my main relay.
always, ALWAYS disconnect the battery. Hell, I disconnect mine when I take my friggin intake off..Hey now. I have a civic too ya know
I know I know I was in a hurry. I usually always disconnect mine too
But I'm so scary broke I can't afford a main relay right now. So I'm driving the Golf again.Seriously. I got really really pissed after that.
Do you really?
I didn't disconnect my battery when I tried changing my alternator due to a bad pulley, then when I tried taking my alternator out, it wouldn't budge, so I changed the belt and it seemed like the pulley was fine, so I lucked out there.

Dude. Yikes.
I smacked that thing with a lead pipe and a big hammer. It would not budge out of the bracket. It was an hour job that turned into three hours of me pulling, hitting, prying, yelling, and bleeding.

The right tools (and process) make all the difference!
It was stuck on there. I twisted it and turned it, sprayed it with penetrating oil, did everything I could think of that you can do with less than 5 inches of space to deal with.
