Hi,
My car struggled to start when the winter set in so i replaced the battery. A coulpe of months later my alternator seized solid. When i took it off it was seized completely and the casing was cracked in several places. I replaced it two weeks ago but today after 300 miles or so the new one has seized??? Coincidence or could there be an excessive electrical load for some reason?
