It is very possible it is a bad rebuild. I have seen many pporly remanufactured alternators. Honda remanufactured would be your best bet.
You could try taking it back and see if they have a bench tester they can check it for you.
I took the old one to advanced auto parts and it tested bad. So i was thinking i could take this one there and have it tested before i bring it back. Is there anything that could be shorting the alternator out?
I realy doubt that. A cheaper cost part is not always a good buy because of the prblems associated with it. All the lights coming on is a sign of bad diodes in the alternator.
The Honda remanufactured alternators do come with a 3yr 36,000 mile warranty and I have seen one go bad.
The lights were still on right when i installed the alternator. So you think that i got a bad alternator and should take it back?
Ok so if i take it back and get a honda reman it should fix the problem? New solution while jiggling the wires to the alternator i can get it to charge but lights are still on.
Alright buddy i hope your right man. Thanks for all your help and have a happy holiday.
