I replaced an alternator on a jeep once. Started it up. Not charging. Checked all connections. Everything was good. Took alternator back. Parts man said. Probably ECM. I told him test it anyway. Alternator was bad. Got another. Problem solved. Said she had a problem since it was installed. Probably bad to begin with. Good job sir.
Exactly what happen to me on my 2017 GMC sierra. Bad cheap replacement alternator, did start but no charge. They also said ECM, and alternator. I Replaced cheap with OEM GM and work great. My Abs lights when away also.

Well said. I was thinking the same thing. He's got a cool setup with that truck, if he has a charger, he could have been charging the battery while working on it. Hopefully it lasts.
$600 for an alternator ! ! ! WTF!!! Sht the bed Fred, I'm frickin old. I remember paying $40 for a starter or alternator back in the day. She seems like a cool gal. Good for you for helping her out bro. Liked and subbed.
My moms Alternator in her older V6 Honda went out. Honda wanted just for the part $600 remanufactured and new $2000, this did not include labor, that's me buying it only. Denso makes the Alternator for Hondas, just has a Honda Badge when bought from Honda. I bought one drop shipped from Denso for $150 remanufactured and a core return of like $50. Watched a video and changed it out. Runs fine. Did her brake pads. Hondas ended up being less than Japanese Akebono pads. Car brakes fine.
Yeah. @6:05 $700 is too much for an alternator replacement Job on this Honda Accord. Mostly because it’s extremely easy to repair on this model. And a high quality replacement alternator costs about $110-$190. She got robbed. I’d charger her about $100-$120 to change it.
God Sees All your Charity Work, it is the Greatest Virtue that man can Give...JUST A NOTE, YOU CAN GET A GENUINE HONDA ALTERNATOR FOR $150- $200 all day long. I don't know where he got this price from, maybe in CA. things are 4 times price of other places...
plus texas truck zero rust love your set up i live in massachusetts i gotta undercoat all my vehicles even though we barely even get snow any more they still salt roads here and there if it rains and gets icey and i live and work on cape cod saltwater air too but love your setup
Hi I live in the uk I was amazed at the price of the alternator I recently bought one for my x type diesel jag and it only cost about £100 six months on and still going strong it’s from Amazon and it wasn’t exchange so it’s possible to repair my old one should I need it,the jag alternator is in a very awkward place to get to maybe 2 hour job,i liked your customer she seemed chilled out despite being messed about with previous mechanic she was lucky it was you cos it could have cost her 6 or 7 hundred dollars for the repair anyway good luck with your business you deserve it🎉
Hope you grow big on this channel Fr this video was dope , first video I’ve watched liked it I’ll be subbing and watchin more kinda reminds me of Matt. Honest good working Mobile mechanics deserve the respect 💯🗣️
i like that truck setup with the compressor mounted with retractable hose magnetic long flexhead ratcheting wrenches on inside of the door organized battery charging stuff in back bin and it sounds like you got the cummins in that dodge i got a mint 7.3 powerstroke 4 door 2002 i want a bed like that
13 RDX was a pain to replace alternator, replaced with remaned OEM from Hubler Acura Parts online shipped to my home as I didn’t wanna risk having to redo the job if I went aftermarket. Ty!
Liked n subbed, couple comments for consideration: those cars don’t always turn on the alternator all the time and the bad alt was called before confirming it had signal to turn on. Glad it worked out for the lady.
Yes but... the battery was at 9 volts. That would have to be a command to charge otherwise it would be bad wiring or ECU. I agree it would be good to double-check before doing the swap though.
Never heard a brand mentioned but as an owner of 6 diff Honda/Acuras, you have to use OEM parts, especially alternator, starter, etc. They dont break often, but when they do, its gonna cost. Had this exact scenario happen with a trusted mechanic in my town. I usually do my own work, but was loaded down with work and had a convo with him about this. He said "no reason to spend double the money" and ordered an aftermarket from a "trusted supplier" and i didnt even make it 5 miles home before it crapped out. I turned around and drove back and he admitted I was right and ordered an OEM alternator for around $450 and didnt charge me a dime more than original job. Was awesome of him to do, but def not typical with most shops/mechanics.
Good work...I just changed a serp belt on one of those, it was bad enough w/o the angled tool to get that belt on.Just lacked a little to go on, I had to go to another video which showed zip tying it to the engine pulley then turning that crank CW w a breaker bar until it slid on. Pass wheel removed....

I had same issue. 3 months after I had new altanator put in it went bad. So I took it back to the shop they replaced it. Then again like 4 months are so later it was bad again. So I bought an altanator and did the work myself and I've been rolling good since then . Like 9 months now. So yea u never kno
lesson learned even new parts CAN be bad so next time you go to change or replace your alternator/starter/ have the store test it out of the BOX before you leave.
Thanks for watching! Yes warranty with part store was done . But it was hard to get a hold of other mechanic so he could do warranty. Please like and subscribe!

That's the problem right there. She's putting remanufactured alternators in there. I refuse to install any remanufactured alternators in my customers cars because I'll just be right back out there to redo the repair.
Guys like you are the guys who can say alot of how you will do things but have no bussiness because if you are turning down 60% or more of what a customer wants then yeahhh.... I Do not know how to can stay in bussiness. Good luck. You will do what a Customer wants, there is just no way you can be like "Nope I will not do that"
@@trxtech3010 It's my job to not only repair the vehicle, but to help guide the customer into making the correct decision and making them aware of any possible issues. Most people don't even know what type of oil their car uses, so it's my responsibility to let the customer know what happens when you use a certain part, or a certain type of part. A good mechanic goes beyond the call of duty and doesn't just install any old part, or let the customer knowingly make a bad decision. It's not like I just flat out rudely tell them no I refuse to do that. I professionally explain each scenario and educate them on why that's a bad idea. I'm not about to set myself and the customer up for failure.
It's okay bro, I won't touch my customers cars with reman anything or Dorman unless it's their only option. It is our responsibility to guide them properly..for customers who are super broke and can't wait on rockauto I will sometimes agree to do reman junk but not with out a simple no warranty clause in writing.
lol she gets a check system for the battery light on in Hondas 2013 and up to year 2018 there’s a sensor to the located by the battery and connects to negative side you have to change that otherwise she’s still gonna get the light on after she drives a few miles.
I am a mobil mechanic and been a mechanic for 42 years I tell the customer from the start that I don’t do orielly’s or Autozone alternators because they pieces of junk The other thing all these new cars have a computer controlled alternators and they work on demand according to the load and the condition of the battery all these control the charging system if the computer works as it should I never in more than 10 years as mobil had to go for a part that failed in 3 or more years It is just to know what brand of parts to get and both autozone and orielly don’t carry a good one

Hello i have a question please , I just quit my job at BMW dealership due to minor injury and I want to start mobile mechanic i have all my tools and sprinter van my question is do I need a " business license " for that or I just start to make my ads and stuff so I start work , I mostly do electronic/electric and programming. If I need a license, how I do that I'm in California.
This video is too haphazard and hard to watch. The diagnosis was all over the place - I didn't notice you didn't check the field wire at the alternator either to eliminate that. You didn't show the physical removal of the alternator and suddenly the new alternator is in place, being bolted up - in fact the whole removal/installation process was just the removal and installation of the bolts, not that you could ever see anything. There was no explanation of the fuse box testing either - you have to remember, some people are here to learn too.
Because some never pop the hood ever they take there car to a shop and never once pop the hood themselves. More car owners should pop there hoods and at least know how to check oil change washer fluid check other fluids and change air filters.
Awesome your helping her out, that other mobile mechanic gives the other awesome mechanics a bad rap. She should post his name so folks know not to use him.
ANY vehicle stock alternator recharging the battery from under 11.5 volts will overwork the alternator and cause it to fail. This video is proof to void the warranty on this second alternator . Vehicle owners manual will state in the maintenance section , only fully charged battery is to be used to start and operate vehicle. I would also avoid any remanufactured parts,,, the quality and dependability of “ NEW” parts isn’t good, like it used to be. A damaged alternator could take a few months or days to completely fail. Just saying. Good luck.

Denso makes the Alternator for Honda and without the Badge its only $150 for it.
It may not have field power to the alternator, it could be a blown fuse. If the alt lite is on you need to check this.
