Was driving this morning and noticed that the altenator and brake lights on dash were blinking intermittently. It seems like a loose connection. Could someone who has this problem tell me what it is?

Thanks in Advance

 

alternator is probably failing....

 

Yep alty is on its way out. Go to AZ or AA to get it checked...

 

yea just dont buy it from autozone cuz they sell the wrong one.. the bracket is to big...

 

Go get it checked out asap or you might be stranded somewhere. ;(

 

I've purchased two alternators from autozone and both fit perfectly...

 

If your car is over 100K miles, may be the brushes in the alternator are worn out. You can take a look to see if that is the case first.

 

I had one that i bought there.... and the bracket was WAY too big.. then i went to advance auto.. got one.. and reliazed it had the same model number as autozone did, but the bracket was smaller... I dunno maybe it was the ***** autozone my my house... i dunno

 

on the autozone one there is a spacer that you have to tap to create the right amount of space

 

yea i know there is but the thing was alread in all the way and the damn bolt didnt even make it to the other side of the bracket....

 

My autozone one fit perfectly.

 

pm me if you need it opened.
