To date the 4 cylinder Camry alternator is the fastest one I’ve ever replaced. From start to finish I think I spent 20 minutes on it.
only thing I've done is change a battery, an alternator and tires (weather checking).
I had a Honda Odyssey do this for years. Finally took to Battery Plus. They checked my battery at the time (which was not having issues…yet) which they said was good. On a lark i asked if their device could tell if the alternator was okay. He said yes, did something on the meter, and then showed me on the screen the alternator showed “errors”. I had the alternator replaced and the dead batteries stopped happening.
A 98k on a alternator made after 2020 isn't bad. Almost impressive.
In my experience, it’s most likely the alternator, I’ve replaced so many I’ve lost count.
My local mechanic put a new alternator in my older Accord late last year. It was around $550, including a new serpentine belt.
Someone warned me against going with auto parts store Remanufactured because they had to do it 2 or 3 times before they got a good Alt, so I stuck to OEM.
I have a 19 Accord. The alternator is buried under the intake manifold. It has to come off. That means draining the cooling system.
My car 2012 honda pilot died while I was driving down the highway yesterday. The stereo cut power on and off, then I lost power to the vehicle and I pulled off the road. I got the vehicle towed to a garage assuming the alternator crapped out (120k miles on my SUV).
I’m having this same issue without the positive results. Brand new alternator battery is good. It does not drive! Turns itself off and says charging system malfunction.
