When Alternator Goes Bad

Ok, so it finally happened to me. 175K. Not bad. It lasted 17 years.

I got into the car, started it up, and wham !

The 'Battery, Tail Light Bulb, & Brake' lights were all on. The volt meter showed only 12v.

New reman alterntor form Carquest, #13278 (mine is automatic trans, so it is 80amp).

Back on the road again.
