Battery/Alternator issues (1 Viewer)

Ok, so then the brake light can come on due to a failed alternator.
I doubt any shop has one in stock near me.

Take your's to a local alternator shop and have them rebuild it. I personally would do that instead of buying a car parts store (most likely Chinese) rebuilt unit. Even in my small town there is a good alternator shop.

Either that or upgrade to something bigger. Nothing special about the stock alternator.

I ended up getting a cheap one at Autozone.
I don't have the time to have this rebuilt. This is my only vehicle.
I will probably rebuild the one I took out.
But since the Duralast has a lifetime warranty, why bother.

I've had terrible luck with the "lifetime warranties" from these places. Either they come up with some way to not honor the warranty, there isn't a store anywhere near when the part fails, or I just get tired of replacing the dang thing. YMMV.
