So the other day my alternator seized in my 2009 stx d40 and completely decimated the pully keyway and as a result a peice of steel punctured my radiator. After patching my radiator and replacing the alternator, when i started the vehicle instantly the new alternator began making a rough sound and was sparking and emitting a white smoke with an obvious smell. Thinking that the new alternator was faulty i removed it and sent it back and installed another new alternator, but this one had the exact same problem. It seems as if the alternator is overloading and not releasing charge into the system. Perhaps checking the volts from the alternator comparing with the battery output might be getting warmer to find out what is going on. I am by no means savy with electrical systems so i am clueless to why this is happening, i just want my vehicle back on the road as i dont havr another one. Any ideas... ?
