QuestionAs stated above I own a 2002 Nissan Frontier 4 cyl.A month ago I started having problems and concluded that it was the alternator,had it tested and much to my surprise it was good so I bought a new battery and after a few days it went bad. After a lot of investigation we got to the problem it is the plug for the alternator.It is worn out so I need a new one.I would prefer a new one as I really don't want to go through this again. The parts stores do not sell them, the dealership wants to sell me the entire wiring harness,I don't want to do that. Please help!
AnswerHi Jayne,
Go to a local salvage yard and ask if you can look around for that part. Most likely they will let you and you'll get the part for practically nothing.
Good luck.
Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).
Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
