reversed polarity, alternator not charging
#31
the alternator or generator as its referred to in the manual was toast, had it checked.
i searched for hours in cobalt and other gm forums and found no one else with similar issue. im starting a stereo install thread and will show why i messed up. its in a tight space because of the subwoofer and was rushing at night.

I'm glad to here your up and running. I was fairly sure that there was a fuse link there somewhere but I could not prove it. I did a lot of searching on the net for this post for other wiring diagrams.
I have found that automotive wiring diagrams are not always 100%. Changes get made in production and sometimes don't make it to the diagrams as they should.

Thanks cannuck, I just added this information about J111 to my FSM for future reference.
By the way the FSM calls it a "Generator" as well in the wiring sections.

My son did the same thing reversed polarity
This info wil be very helpful as my son just didnthis to his HHR. ALSO you can move the tensioner with a Craftsman 3/8 drive ratchet if its the low profile head. Its tight but it will pop in the square once in move it to about 8 o clock position and pull it slightly to slip the belt around crank pulley then using a friend pull the ratchet handle to 630 and have the person at the top pop the belt on the alternator
