Buy Denso remanufactured alternators only. Many many people have reported problems on Odys and Pilots with other brand alternators. Remanufactured and in a Denso box is what you want.
Try a Denso alternator. Somtimes those cheap ones at the auto stores just dont last.
I would suggest Denso for the Honda. With a high amp usage like an Odyssey, anything, but Denso will cause the battery light to be on intermittently.
You can get a remanufactured Denso (OE) for that car: it's probably the most cost-effective option.
I would get a better alternator. Denso (reman or new is fine) seems to be the only one that can take the high electrical demand of the Odyssey.
Denso alternators are the best. Denso makes great products. I do a lot of side work on Hondas and I am so thankful Denso offers their stuff outside of the dealership. I replace alternators, a/c compressors, oxygen sensors, etc all the time and I choose Denso bc it's basically the same exact part you receive in a Honda box but for half the price.
If the alternator is OEM, replace it, because is close to the exhaust manifold, it will fail sooner than later.
If you are replacing the alternator, strongly recommend using only Honda dealer sold remanufactured alternators (probably Denso) or an aftermarket Denso brand remanufactured alternator. Lots of problems reported with other brands.
I just got a Denso remanufactured alternator from RockAuto for a 2009 Camry. Straight out of the box, the pulley was extremely hard to spin. It seems to get very stiff in one spot, get past that spot and spin fairly easily, then after I assume a full revolution it gets extremely stiff again. It also seems a bit loud/odd to me
I think it may be the alternator to be honest because I’ve had one headlight burn out trunk latch inside the car stopped working but the key fob works window button not work properly in one instance, so-called battery wasn’t good when I just had it replaced less than six months ago. Recently they told me that it was my battery this whole time and within two weeks the lights were back on my dashboard.
