alternator

Ok here is the back story... Monday it was -6 degrees out. I poked my head out the door and hit the remote start so the car would be warm when my son was ready to go out the door for school. Started up, engine turned a little bit slower, but it ran. had a really bad accessory bearing noise...

Has anyone replaced the alternator on a 2012 Buick LaCrosse with 3.6 L VVT engine? AC line is in the way preventing removal. it appears that the alternator was replaced once before because it was made by Valeo. 84K miles Second owner.

FML. I’ve had issues with the car not wanting to crank let alone start these past few weeks. Once i got the car started SES light came on, OBD came up with P0049/0014 codes. Neither of which would cause battery to drain (or would it?) Tested battery at the same time and was told the three...

2002 buick park ave alternator charges at first start and charges for 10-15 minutes stops and will sometimes kick back on for a minute or two usually not. New alt did not solve the issue, ~12 and 5 volts at two wires on alt not the charge wire thats showing 11.91 all while issue is occuring...

Ok guys I have a weird one.... Yesterday I went to get in my car and it wouldn't start. Mind you I never had any indication my battery was on its way out. AS/S and remote start we're working just fine until the day before yesterday. Battery was reading 11.3 I think. So I drove down to Walmart...

Hey everyone, I’ve got a Buick Electra 225(1964 with the 6.6L Wildcat 445) and I am having some chargin issues. I changed the alternator for a Delco Remy remanufactured one as well as the regulator for a Solid State Converted one. Once installed, they were both working fine, but then 2 days...

New Here, Ive seen a few threads of Buicks with battery/starting issues, how ever not the same make of Buick as mine. SO here we go... I have a 2014 Buick Enclave, that I love BTW. My car will not start. I have a portable jumping thing Ive had to invest in to insure Im not stuck dead somewhere...

Previously (a month ago) had issues getting my 2010 LaCrosse to start, was saying 5 keys programmed, had battery replaced, seemed to remedy the issue for a month but then 3 days ago, the car actually slowed and died WHILE I was driving it! After a minute I managed to get it to start up again and...

🎶 Happy Birthday to me! Happy Birthday to me! My alternator took a dump; I barely made it off the street! 🎶 So, I need some advice on replacing alternator... specifically, how to remove and replace the accessory belt when you have the tow package (giant belt driven fan instead of two electric...

Typing this on mobile so I apologize in advance. my 2011 Enclave headlights started flickering. I thought it was the alternator, but it seems to flicker while I am moving as well. I haven’t checked anything yet, just need some ideas on where to start. I am definitely going to be checking the...

Hello, I have a '94 Roadmaster Wagon with 131k miles on it. For the most part, everything on the car runs great, but I've been having an issue I was looking for some help on. Sometimes at stop lights or right after starting the car, the headlights will dim...then come back to normal...then...

3100. I need to replace the blower motor. Part ordered, took a quick peek under the hood at what I'm going to have to do. To my dismay it looks more complicated than I first thought it was going to be... but I want to confirm so I know what I'm getting into before starting. I looks like with...

Long story short, I was just at the end of a 200 mile road trip when my battery light started flashing. Turned out the alternator and battery both died at once. Replaced both, battery is charging, alternator works fine. Voltage is good from both (12.7 from battery and 14.3 from alternator), but...

Dear Buick owners and fans, We bought a new Buick Century Limited in 2000. As way of introduction, here is a picture of her: We don't put a lot of miles on her, but we drive her enough that the battery should remain charged. However, we have had a string of battery failures and I started...

I have a parasitic drain in my 2013 which I believe I've traced to be a bad diode in the alternator. New alternator is almost $200 so I'm hoping to just replace the diode and be done with it. Anyone know a part number for the diode or how to find it? I haven't had any luck.

Here's what happened: I was driving from Portland to Spokane for Thanksgiving, and my volt light came on about 2 hours into the 6 hour trip. I wasn't sure what that meant, but it went off again. when it came back on about 10 minutes later, I took the next exit, parked the car, and looked it up...

The battery on my 09 LaCrosse CXL gave up the ghost Wednesday. I did a jump and got it to the parts store and replaced the battery with a new AGM style. On the way to the parts store my battery in the DIC was reading 14.4V. Which I thought was right. Then today just for satisfaction, I look...

Ok, alternator went out. We replaced it. Now, after I start the tuck, it takes 5 mins for all power to work...this includes my transmission completely shifting into 1st gear, my power locks locking, and my ac to blow cold. PLEASE HELP! Any advice would be much appreciated... Thank you!

Ok so the title pretty much sums it up. Last night I started hearing a growling coming from under the hood, upon inspection it was my alternator. This morning in better light I could see it had tore itself to shreds, bearings laying all over the engine bay. So I called up my local junk yard to...

6 months ago my Ignition Control Module went out and when that happened the car would run really rough,would sputter and i would hemorrhage gas. After getting that fixed those months ago, yesterday while going up an incline bridge it sputters a couple times like it was choking. I pull over later...
