Good point Wild
     You are right! The old trick of unhookin the battery cable to test the alternator can damage many of the newer vehicles.

(Learned the hard way too!)

Ok I guess I should have mentioned that it might hurt newer vehicles...I just assumed it was an older one since it was like a sidekick.  I mainly work on old cars though, and my kick is an 89 so its not really a problem... ;D

The Toyota igniter I blew was on an 86 Tercel,
so any cars/trucks with an electronic ignition
system could possibly be affected, and I'd rather
be safe than sorry, and out $50 for a new module
