Detailed Description

MPA Electrical part number 15488 is a remanufactured alternator engineered to match the electrical and mounting requirements of select vehicles using a Nippondenso-style design. The 80 amp output supports normal charging demands, while the internal regulator helps maintain system voltage without an external regulator. The 5-groove serpentine pulley and clockwise rotation are important fitment details for vehicles that rely on the original belt routing and alternator orientation. This alternator is also cross-referenced to Remy 11086 for the same application.

For buyers comparing alternator replacement options for Suzuki Vitara and other listed interchange applications, 15488 provides a specification-driven solution that aligns with OE-style charging system requirements. The part number 15488 should be verified against pulley style, rotation, and connector/mounting configuration before installation.

Common Charging System Issues It Can Address

• Battery warning light or charging system warning on the dash
• Low battery voltage after driving
• Dim headlights or unstable electrical performance
• Battery not staying charged during normal use
• Alternator noise or charging output loss

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle uses a 12-volt system, 80 amp output specification, internal regulator, and a 5-groove serpentine pulley before ordering. Match the clock position, rotation, and manufacturer style to the original unit to avoid fitment issues. Inspect the belt, battery condition, and charging circuit connections during replacement so the new alternator can operate correctly after installation.

Quality Assurance

MPA Electrical remanufactured components are rebuilt to meet application-specific electrical requirements for replacement use. Verify interchange references and vehicle specifications against the original alternator before installation to ensure proper fit and charging performance.
