[quote=bellaCuba;7188450]Yes, I agree with you. They generally last at least 6 yrs & can last up to 10 or more.
What went bad on it? Not charging anymore? Then a contributing factor here would be a weak battery or main connections. Bad batteries will kill Alternators... Bad Alternators can kill batteries.
My knowledge of all of this is very little. They hooked it up to their 'whatever it's called' and he said it was the alternator and it drained my battery.
My car started doing just what it did last time turn signals were quitting, air conditioner, then the power steering started tightening so I was able to make it there before it quit.
My boyfriend has known this mechanic for years is the reason I go there so he trusts him. But this doesn't make sense to him or me. They had already closed for him to call and ask any more questions. And I am broke so he paid for the last one and this one too. So I'm thankful he will but I don't like that he has too especially since it didn't last.
