Make sure you’re getting a Denso alternator installed. The aftermarket ones are built shitty and will probably crap out on you again.
rebuilt my oem denso to avoid buying those other brands, they generally are very hit or miss and dont have a good warranty to back them up. denso all the way, i would buy one for my car if they were still available.
The Denso will last the longest, but I have a habit of buying the local store brand only because they give you a no-questions-asked lifetime warranty.
I would go OEM or get a Denso from Rockauto since Honda's alternator is kind of sensitive.
I just replaced the alternator on my 09, it cost me $190 for the part (Denso refurb - shipped, including taxes) from Rockauto.
Denso alternator was like $350 and it took us like 3 hours as total novices and that includes the 3 trips we ended up taking to NAPA.
Did my own alternator, Denso 300.00. Took about an hour.
Defective alternator. Get it exchanged under warranty. Unfortunately, lots of remanufactured alternators from parts stores don't perform up to spec. It would best to get a new or remanufactured from Hyundai or a reliable brand such as Denso.
When my alternator went out I got an aftermarket that failed within the week. Afterwards I was told that the element alternator is in a spot that gets more heat than a normal car so it needs a higher temp solder. I got the denso oem after and it’s still good after 5 years
Im going to say OEM. I have a 2004 acura tsx, which is essentially an accord. I replaced my alternator with a denso remanufactured unit from rockauto. It worked, but the battery light stayed on. I bit the bullet and bought an OEM a year later just to turn the damn light off.
