One month after i purchased this car i had to replace the alternator after one month. That was three months ago. I only put a hunderd miles on it and now that alternator dosen't work its like it burned up again. Is there something burning out these alternators or is it just a bad one. I want to find out before I put the new one on. Is there regulator or something else that will cause this??????????

Hi:
Chances are, you got a bad alt. If the regulator was bad, you would have other problems. Is the alt still under warranty?
