Yes. So the problem was in the rebuilt alternator. Early this week I threw in a brand new Bosch alternator and everything worked fine. I brought the rebuilt alternator back to the shop and they retested it. According to them they put the wrong part in (stator?) which was allowing it to...

I scanned the the computer today and there were no codes coming up. I decided to pick up a brand new alternator this afternoon at one of the chain automotive stores and will install it tomorrow to see if the rebuilt alternator is what is keeping the three lights on. Cheers .

Yes they do stay on. I let the car idle for around 10 minutes after installing the alternator and the voltage indicator feature on my radio stayed around 14.2-14.3 while running. So weird because when those lights came on the voltage would slowly drop. I will scan the computer later and erase...

Hello all. Recently the alternator on my 2000 Mitsubishi Montero died. Before going out the three lights showed up (Battery, Brake and A/T). I rebuilt my oem alternator, recharged the battery and put it back in the car yesterday but these lights remain on. Any tips on how I can I get rid of...

This is the highest it hit this weekend. :oops:

Awesome. Setting it now to 220. Thanks for the info.

Hi, I just picked up a 2003 Montero Limited. I re soldered the contact points at the back of the temperature gauge because the needle kept moving up and down giving inaccurate readings. Also, to be safe I picked up an Ultra-Gauge to see what the exact temps were through the OBD2. On this...

I did order a Bosch alternator from RockAuto before the one I have currently installed. I think it was re manufactured though because that is all they had on the site. I am with you and always try to buy new (oem if available) whenever I can but for this truck it looks like they are getting...

Did you end up making the splash guard? If you did would you be able to send some pics? My alternator died again on my way home from work last night. I would like to try putting a guard on it too and see if that helps it last a little longer than 2 months.

I spoke too soon. Driving the car over the weekend all three indicator lights came on again and the voltage dropped down to the 11 range. Brought it to the local garage and they said that the Bosch alternator was defective. They said that they checked the electrical system and everything...

Cool. I will check that out. I got my Bosch (re manufactured) alternator from Parts Geek on Monday and installed it yesterday. Everything is looking good again where the voltage is hovering 12.4 to 14.3. Only thing I need to do is loosen the belt just a little bit to get rid of the quick...

Thanks for the replies. NatersXJ6, all of the alternators came from Autozone. I try not to buy from them as much as possible but when the first one went out they were the only ones that had a replacement in stock. However, I only had to buy one because every time I brought it in to get tested...

Hi, My wife was driving our 1999 Montero home this evening and she noticed lights on the dash come on and the headlights getting dimmer. She called me and I asked her to look at the voltage meter on the radio and it read 9.6 and continued to drop. Luckily she wasn't too far from home and made...

Yes they are still the donut style underneath.

Hi Guys, If anyone is interested, I just replaced the seat covers on my 1999 Montero and plan to put the old ones up on ebay soon. They are used and have a few tears and stains here and there but are still in much better shape than my original seats. They are not real leather but...
