Standard Ignition Alternator Brush Set P/N:FX-33
Standard Motor Products
Help your alternator or generator keep current reaching its rotating component with the Standard Ignition Alternator / Generator Brush Set, part number FX-45 (also written FX45). It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, which include many classic European, Japanese and domestic vehicles such as the 1977-1981 Honda Accord and 1984-1985 Ford Thunderbird.
Inside an alternator or generator, the brushes stay in contact with the rotating component and carry electrical current to it. Brushes wear with use. A worn brush set may be behind a charging warning light, a battery that keeps running low, dim or flickering lights, or charging output that cuts in and out. Those signs can have other causes, so diagnose the charging system first. If worn brushes are the cause, this set replaces them.
This part is listed under both names, alternator brush set and generator brush set. FX-45 is cataloged for many vehicles. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full vehicle list and engine details.
