So I have a 2007 Honda Pilot EX, started the car today and battery light was solid on - checked the voltage and it was showing 14.XX.
Alternator sound was different and producing a slight burning smell.
Turned the car off, started back again this time voltage was fluctuating and still battery light was solid.
Removed the alternator and took it to a parts shop for bench test, they said it is a bad alternator.
Just now I pulled the brushes and they are completely worn, can it be just brushes or one of the diode is bad? Can I test the diodes?
Would anyone please know the part number for brushes? Checked on rockauto and not seeing it. It is a Honda/Denso alternator.
Thank you for the help.
