its easy , my girl integra died the other day . i tried jumping it today at her work. it starts right up. i take the jumpers off and it goes dead right away. Battery or alternator. my gut says alternator. am i right

 

dude just rebuild it
get a set of brushes for like $10

 

what do you mean?

 

take both to vatozone to see if there any good

 

you take the alternator out
you take it apart
you remove the old worn out brushes
you install new brushes
you put it back together
you put the alternator back in
you jump the car and watch it work

 

voltage reg. may be inop also. that must not be overlooked. and if you hooked your batt cables on backwords you may have fried a diode.

 

alternators are gay ... fuking expencive too

sorry for stealing ur thread but ... can you do anything to an alternator if the pully is seazed ? change the bearings?

 

make sure your tires are balanced
