This part cross-references Bosch (e.g., 13559, 13651) for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Battery warning light caused by alternator output loss
• Low charging voltage at the battery
• Dim lights or unstable electrical operation
• Noise or wear related to alternator bearing or pulley issues
• Charging system failure on Mazda Miata, MX-3, or Protege applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify pulley groove count, rotation direction, clock position, and electrical connector match before installation. Confirm the vehicle uses a 12-volt system and compare the original alternator mounting and belt alignment to the replacement unit. For Mazda Miata, MX-3, and Protege fitment, matching the original charging system configuration is essential for proper operation.
