Is it possible for an alternator to go out 3 weeks after rebuilt?
Yes it is. answer #2 New; means nothing in this business and rebuilt means even less. Especially if you purchased it from AutoZone. They sell a wonderful core, clean . . . but a terrible rebuilt Starter or Alternator. drl
First start very slow draging alternator?
Either have the Alternator rebuilt or replaced. A bit cheaper to have rebuilt however this is determined by Make, Model and Year of Vehicle. The reason it is dragging is the bearings are worn out and the unit can very easily SEIZE.

What would cause the battery idiot light to come on in a 2000 Cougar after you just had the alternator replaced?
i had the same problem! replaced my alternator 3 times! battery light kept coming on, finally took it to an alternator specialist, come to find out my wireing was connected wrong, and the connector was bad, car wasn't reading the alternator correctly causing the alternator to shut down. Got it fixed for roughly 350 dollars but no problems since, suggest brand new alternator not a rebuilt one!
Why does the battery light go on in a 1997 Ford Taurus station wagon when a rebuilt alternator has recently been installed and the battery was replaced less than a year ago?
Could be a bad signal sent by the computer or the alternator is not charging to full capacity. Have someone check the charging amps on the alternator.
Should you buy a new alternator or rebuilt alternator?
Generally a rebuilt one comes with a lifetime warranty, so if you are doing the work yourself, feel free. It won't go out.
What causes the alternator not to charge in a 92 Buick Skylark?
If it's properly connected, it's just worn-out. When you get it replaced, make sure you get a new one and not a rebuilt alternator. I had a brand new Bosch alternator put in my 1995 Skylark about 4 years ago and it's worked like a charm ever since.
Why is the alternator whining?
1. Suspect the belt is loose. Tighten it or use belt dressing. 2. Bearings are worn out on the alternator. Replace the alternator. 3. Poor workmanship on a rebuilt alternator. Replace the alternator.
How much to fix an alternator?
If your alternator is defective the best thing to do is to purchase a rebuilt alternator and trade yours in on it. Much simpler and easier than trying to rebuild it yourself.
Could a rebuilt alternator cause the 20 amp fuse for the engine control to blow on a 94 grand Cherokee?
If it was rebuilt wrong, Yes
What exactly is a re manufactured part?
Remanufactured isn't as thorough as it sounds. In an alternator for instance the replace only the parts they feel are worn. So they might replace the bearings and the diodes - but will leave the body of it, and often other parts behind. So you can see, if the person making the judgment call on what needs to be replaced is competent the remanufactured part should function just fine. Now if it was rebuilt poorly - forget about it. I replaced an orignal alternator with a rebuilt one and went through 2 of em that were broken out of the box.
