This part cross-references Dorman - HELP 13659 for the same application.

Compatible With 1996-1999 Toyota Paseo, N/A, and 1995-1996 Toyota Tercel, N/A. It also fits 1997 Toyota Tercel, N/A, for vehicles without the Cold Climate Package and built to 12/97. The part number 13659 is useful when matching the correct alternator by application and electrical configuration.

Common Problems This Part Can Help Solve

• Battery warning light caused by alternator output issues
• Low charging voltage at the battery
• Dim lights or electrical instability while driving
• Charging system failure from a worn internal regulator
• Noise or belt-drive issues related to a failing alternator pulley assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify pulley groove count, rotation, amperage, and regulator style before installation. Confirm the vehicle’s Cold Climate Package status on 1996-1999 Toyota Paseo and on 1997 Toyota Tercel built to 12/97, since those details affect fitment. Compare the original unit’s connector and mounting layout to the replacement alternator before installation. Use the vehicle’s charging system specifications to confirm that part number 13659 matches the required application.
