-
If there is continuity, replace the rotor assembly.
Alternator Reassembly
16. If you removed the pulley, put the rotor in the drive-end housing, then tighten its locknut to 110 N.m (11.2 kgf.m, 81.0 lbf.ft).
17. Remove any grease or oil from the slip rings.
18. Put the rear housing assembly and drive-end housing/rotor assembly together, then tighten the four through bolts.
