    I searched for this and cannot find it, the only step-by-step for an alternator has broken links to pictures.

    Is anyone able to post a pic of where the B terminal is located on an alternator for a V6 Tacoma? I have a 2012, TRD OR with tow package. I feel dumb because I can't find it. I admit, I haven't crawled under the truck to look, just from up top; never had to go underneath to find a terminal before. Seems like I am missing it, but I can't find it by a feel or sight.

    If pic is not possible, a good description of its location maybe?

    Had to replace a deader than dead battery today. At the battery terminals I am showing 14+V at start, dropping to 13.5 V after a drive. So the alternator seems fine, I just want to test at the terminal to be sure that I didn't damage the alternator after roll starting the truck to get to Autozone.

    Thanks!

    Thanks! Wow, way to make it accessible... I saw that bolt, not the label (since I cant see through the back of the engine) and I was thinking it couldn't be that. It did not have the typical rubber nub cover so I guess its just a bare bolt for these guys.
