Factory Honda Alternators Online

The job of an alternator is to convert mechanical energy into electricity. How the one in your Honda vehicle works is a process. The process starts with the engine, which runs a belt and pulley and spins a rotor shaft. The process ends with magnetic coils turning, a movement that which produces AC power. A rectifier on the alternator captures the current and turns it into DC power. This charges your vehicle's battery and runs its electrical systems -- the power windows, dashboard lights and displays, windshield wipers, power steering, and electronics, to name just some of them.

Unfortunately, alternator failure happens; jump-starting your vehicle wrong, installing accessories in it incorrectly, and damaged or worn-out parts can make it go bad, and when it does, replacement can get pricey. Average costs can be $600 to $800, with parts making up anywhere from $480 to $650 of that.

Here at Honda Parts Mart, though, we sell alternators for much less. Our prices start at around $400, depending on model, and you can get a steep discount off MSRP on top of that.

Signs of Alternator Problems

You're in luck: they're pretty easy to spot. For instance, your headlights and car radio may not work right, you may smell burning under the hood, or you may hear your engine whining. You may also encounter a dead battery or have charging system issues.

See any of these, and you should run a complete inspection and test your vehicle's charging system. If your alternator turns out to be the trouble, replace it immediately. Otherwise, change it every 80,000 to 150,000 miles or so. That's about every 7 years.

When it's time to buy a new one, be sure to get genuine OEM. What Honda makes for its cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans will be manufacturer-quality, after all. Plus, Honda alternators come both guaranteed to fit and carrying a warranty for peace of mind. You can order one right here online.
