Product Details

This remanufactured alternator is built for Saturn SC1, SC2, SL, SL1, SL2, SW1, and SW2 applications across the 1997-2002 model years. It is a direct-fit charging component for vehicles using a 5-groove serpentine belt setup, 12-volt electrical architecture, and an internal voltage regulator. Part number 8232503 also cross-references BBB Industries 8232 for the same application.

Use MPA Electrical 8232503 when replacing a worn alternator on a Saturn SC2, Saturn SL2, or other listed Saturn models where the original charging unit matches the specified pulley, rotation, and plug configuration. The 3:00 clock position and clockwise rotation help confirm proper alignment before installation.

What This Alternator Helps Address

• Battery warning light caused by weak charging output
• Dim headlights or unstable electrical performance
• Slow battery recovery after driving
• Charging system noise or inconsistent voltage output
• Failure of the original alternator due to wear

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify the vehicle uses a 5-groove serpentine pulley and clockwise rotation before ordering.
• Confirm the alternator clock position is 3:00 and the regulator plug matches the vehicle harness.
• Inspect the belt, tensioner, and battery condition during replacement to protect the charging system.
• Check charging voltage after installation to confirm proper system operation.
