Hi guys

after 4 years of random battery discharges, two new batteries (one exploded), yesterday, the battery and brake lights came on, and today the vehicle shut off while running.

everything points to the alternator but... i had an used alternator in my house and i did the install, and jump start the car and 10 minutes later int went off again, TWO ALTERNATORS?

what other thing could cause the battery not charging?

Test both alternators.

Although this sounds absolutely ridiculous, it is very possible to have a couple bad alternators. I have 3 in my garage I believe.

any tip for choosing a reliable used alternator? what too look for in an used alternator, what i have to avoid?

Honestly I don't there's a way visually.

Yeah I can attest that a freshly rebuilt looking one from the junkyard only has a 50/50 shot of being good. Get em tested.

HI guys! thank you a lot for the time you spend helping me with this

i decide to do a rebuild, all electronic was bad, they put a new diode card and an used regulator, and gave me warranty, everything working fine by now
Thank you!

What did the rebuild cost if you don't mind.

Hello!

The equivalent to us$38

Great deal compared to a remanufactured one. I want to say I paid $110 USD at the dealer for their reman.
