whats the easiest way to get to the plug i want to disconnect it to see if its that thats draining my battery
-
It was 2 cables held on by 13mm / 8mm nuts on mine :-\
-
You'd be better off disconnecting the cable at the battery end and measuring the current down it. Alternator probably needs to come out to disconnect it.
-
any ideas which cable it is? theres a main one and then 4 fused ones.

Are you looking to isolate it at the alternator or battery end ?
-
i want to disconnect it to see if i stops the drain on the battery would have thought alternator end be better
-
Too get at the terminals on my alternator, I removed the ............
Bagpipes
Utility belt
Then I droped the alternator and let it lay on top of the plastic engine tray.
If you do it this way, you can lean over the front and play with the 2 wires with ease. :y

It's the thick one that's crimped onto the battery terminal rather than bolted on. It goes to the starter and the alternator. Starter is unlikely to cause a problem so you can just unbolt the other wires from the battery terminal, remove it from the battery post and measure the current. :y
