Try X-Cel on Broadway in Schenectady for a rebuilt alternator. I paid $60 for the last one I bought and it came with a lifetime warranty. They can also test it much better than the retards at Advance Auto can. I found that out with my Mustang’s starter. Advance said it was good but it wasnt. ---

Free 90 free? Don’t forget most chain auto part stores can do a free Alternator check as well. Good luck. ---

WTF. Some are bad from the factory, especially many remaned ones. Ask them to do an actual alternator check, whether it’s in or out of the car. ---

Had this type of issue on a car before, and it turned out that the wire from the positive end of the battery, and the fuse box was loose… fixed that issue, and never had the problems again. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/battery-light/245739.md?page=1)
