  • In this video. I show you how to change an alternator on a 1998 to 2002 Honda Accord. It's very easy and can be done in about a half an hour. If you have any questions leave a comment and I'll get back to you. I also go over the diagnosis of a bad alternator and hope to test junkyard alternators. For just replacement skip to 5:05.
    Thanks - mike

    I was able to replace my alternator for 120 bucks as opposed to taking it to the mechanic and coughing up $800 thanks to this vid, much appreciated!

    Great tutorial video with excellent visual and a little humor thrown in for good measure. I have decided to go ahead and attempt this job (same car and engine - 1999). Thanks!

    Along with the heater and lights, other loads to add are the rear window defroster and windshield wipers. Cause if you're out on a cold rainy night that is what will be on, then of course you have your radio and brakes. A good alternator should make the adjustments to keep a proper charge at idle. It's not ok if you have to rev the engine to keep up. This is with all good wiring and connections.. And voltage drop could be a culprit. There are lots of videos on that topic. Unless I'm in a pinch, I would not get a salvage yard alternator. But, as easy as they are to replace in this gen. accord it's not that big a deal, even if you only get a couple months out of it..Thanks again! Great video!

    Good idea to just take a flat file to the pivot surfaces & adjustment ear of the alt, also brass brush the threads & shoulders of all the bolts/hardware removed & hit them with a few drops of 3 in 1 oil so it all goes back together a bunch easier than it came apart.

    Did any other lights come on the dash? I had my alternator checked and was told it was good, but the battery light, SRS and all door light indicators on the dash light up here and there

    Hey man! Just watching this video right now. I put it in 2 12s and now my car won’t start. I took out the battery and re charged it and it turned on for a day. Tried to turn it on today in the morning and it died again. What’s your input? Do you think I should upgrade my alternator? Is the battery too weak to hold?

  • @Peguerochannel

    I have that same car, sometimes when I'm driving that I'm in a traffic the alternator gives me a voltage of 11.50 volts it has happened to me some returns, I suspect that my alternator has a voltage drop on some occasions. And that can cause the engine to be unstable and shake in idle. But I'm not sure I should take the car to be diagnosed by the alternator.
