You should only change it, when it goes bad.
It would be best to remove the alternator and take it to an electrical shop.
Check for any lose connections, wires, exc.
no if your battery light is on and the brake light on then your alternator need to be change
Well in the tropics it would have little affect.
i paid 218 including alternator and labr. 159 for alternator and 45$ labor+ tax.
Bad Battery. Bad Alternator. Lights left on by mistake. Something left running. Exc.
Only when it fails. 250,000 miles would be average.
As often as the alternator fails... ;)The alternator is not a 'consumable' type of part that requires routine maintenance/replacement - like a serpentine belt, brake pads, etc.Many repair shops and auto parts stores offer inexpensive or free alternator & battery testing.Be sure to test before replacing!NOTE: it is a little known fact that a weak or failing battery is a major contributor to premature alternator death. Any battery that is 4 years old is a prime candidate for replacement.See "Related Questions" below for information on how-to replace Taurus / Sable alternators
I would only think one at the most. Alternators are easy.
wires from the starter to the harness are touching
take it to a mechanic!!!! would cost too much to do it yourself, and if you messed it up.....
If it is a gas golf cart it has an alternator and if it is electric you have no need for an alternator. An alternator would require more power to turn that it would return to the batteries. So, you would get less distance out of the cart with an alternator installed. That is why electric carts do not come equipped with an alternator.
