Evo died.

Odyssey pc680 battery sent back to factory to get charged at Enersys. The battery went to the lab with a voltage of 10.59V and 20 CCA and tested at a voltage 12.72V with CCA 322 and 7mΩ internal resistance.

Good battery per the rep.

Car started right up. Brake and battery light on. Just drove car 10 min. Brake and battery light on. Lights would go off simultaneously from a dig and come on simultaneously at cruising speed. Lights were getting dimmer as I was driving. Anti lock light came on for a second. End of drive.

Idling at 2k after a 10 min drive. Light adjustment dial not working. Car shook just a tad when car was shut off.

Car will not start.

 

You're correct, when the battery and e-brake lights are on it indicates that the alternator has failed. I was able to replace mine by pulling the passenger side axle and dropping it from the bottom. It's a tight fit, but it's possible. Good Luck!

Great... Is there any chance it could be anything else?

I'm fairly handy I'm hoping I can do the replacement. If I can't how many hours labor? I do have someone I can trust.

Thanks

 

alternator.

 

Have fun with the alternator.

There's 2 ways. From the bottom... requires pulling your passenger side axle.

OR

From the top. Remove the FPR and fuel rail, unbolt the ABS system and have fun wiggling xD.

I did mine from the top....... was a good 2-3 hours.... It involved me on top of my valve cover and exhaust manifold heat sheild. MY arms were full of scratches by the end of the night.

 

I keep thinking about the guy who, finding he couldn't remove the alternator from behind the engine, disassembled it back there and removed the parts. Then he did the reverse with a new one.
