I replaced my alternator this week. The previous one stopped working after less than 1,000 miles. I installed it 13 months ago. The car was in storage most of the past year, so the old alternator was beyond the 12 month warranty period. But it still looked new ... except that the housing for the positive lead from the battery was melted. See pix. The nut, bolt and lead were fused together. And the previous alternator didn't last long either, though I don't recall a melted housing. I scoured the Forums looking for similar problems, but didn't see any. Is this a known issue? Thanks! Dawson Note melted housing around positive lead bolt.
