Dead alt again??

[DarkHusk11]

So this morning my car did not want to start. I jump started it and at low rpms the battery light and the radio would turn off but after a few min it will be normal. As soon as I turn it off it wont start on its own. I replaced the alternator twice because power steering fluid was leaking on top of it but I fixed that.

Could it be the battery this time? I would take it to auto zone but I do not have a ride at the moment.

Also when driving and I slow down to idle rpm the gauges stop working.

Another bad alternator? What could cause this or should I stay away from auto zone alternators? I have lifetime replacement but its frustrating.

It's my understanding that when it comes to working parts Autozone ANYTHING is best avoided.

I have herd bad stuff about there alternators,thats about it.
yup it sounds like your alt.

[DarkHusk11]

Wtf should I go get my free replacement or buy it from somewhere else? Whats better then auto zone?

[thepowderblue]

Get your free replacement. You will get some duds but I have put like 20k on my autozone alt and its fine.

I am currently running an Autozone alternator aswell for 6k miles now and no problems yet. Sure there quality is not great but you get lifetime warranty with it.

I went and looked and mine had ND stamped in it. So Its a remanufactured nippondenso

I was having this same problem and replaced my alternator a few times and replaced the battery but still had it going out.

Problem was that the plug that goes in to the alternator had one of the cables under the tape cut and it would just have the problem start over again. Check the wires in your plug and make sure that's ok, and if not, then grab a replacement from the JY and hope for the best.

Sorry about grammar, just typing real quick at work

Thanks Ill check the wiring to the alt once I take everything apart AGAIN lol

[BlitzCB7]

It's a breeze for me since I have no A/C or power steering, so I don't have extra pumps or lines in my way

Good luck btw

Ok I put a new alt in and now the battery light flickers like every min or so and the car dies at idle 60% of the time

[DarkHusk11]

wtf so now i have the same exact problem again... I got the battery tested yesterday and it passed so i got a new alternator because it failed.

Lasted a day now my car wont start and its not charging the battery and when its running it sputters.... Battery light flickers.

Wth is burning up my alternators. I checked all the wires going to the alt they are all good. Remind you this is the fourth alternator dead on this car within 2 months..

Are you sure your ground has good contact or that there isn't an open in the wire?
