While driving my Alternator stopped working causing my battery to die an my car to shut off while still in motion.
Is there any troubleshooting methods I could try to get it to work again before I have to pay for a new one? I'm not sure why it suddenly stopped working While I was driving an am hoping for some sort of Insight.
Thanks

@jakeweaver20248 probably not. This is usually caused by failed diodes inside the alternator. Of course burned windings etc. are a possibility too. You could try to rebuild your alternator or replace it. There are not very many other options.
Alternator repair kits are available for about $40-$50 Rebuilt alternators for about USD $150-$300
Of course, make sure that all the wires are still connected, have a good ground and everything is properly hooked up.
