Description of the problem | The alternator shorted out, i was in a parking lot at a grocery store and it just died like turning off the key. I tried restarting the vehicle and it would do nothing. Had it towed to a local repair shop and what they found was a shorted alternator. The shop checked for tsb's and recalls and found a recall for like conditions on vehicles equipped with a 160 amp alternator. My vehicle is equipped with a 180 amp alternator according to the dealer and isn't covered. My question in this matter is. Did the 180 amp alternator use the same rectifier assembly as the 160 amp alternator? |
