EL521 Posted September 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 Thank you very much! I was able to find those two parts. Im going to order them tomorrow. I sure will post pictures if I find out how aha Quote Link to comment
laotsu Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 Are you sure your alternator is bad? I had a bunch of electrical gremlins that were fixed by soaking the fuse block in vinegar, scrubbing it and replacing all the fuses. I would do that first, then have a parts store check your alternator. try to fix what you have before just buying new parts you might not need. OICS NOW! Quote Link to comment
