2016 Honda civic ex starter and alternator issue

[Envy Eddy]

Hey so I had an issue where my car didn’t turn on. I hear my alternator went bad need to replace that and the belt. Got my car back and the car still didn’t start. I took it back and my mechanic told me that the alternator fried the starter because of the alternator low voltage strained the starter windings. Is this possible? I just got a new starter last year.

You had to pick the car up from the mechanic didn't you? It started then correct? So it intermittently doesn't start. The part about the alternator killing the starter is BS. Not a real thing. Not sure why your car needed a starter to begin with but something else is up that you need two starters and an alternator in one year. Someone isn't diagnosing right or something else is going on.

The alternator for sure needed to be fix. When I tried to start the car it would start her and there without a problem now. But after a while of it not turned on it wouldn’t bother starting. The battery is good and the alternator is good too. Because once the jump starts there isn’t an issue. And I checked the battery in autozone and it’s at 100 percent. The alternator belt also needed to be replaced. It’s could have been me trying to turn on the car over and over that broke the starter not sure. It didn’t even want to bother trying to start the car

When I try to start it I just hear two clicks that’s it

Clicking is often a weak/dead battery.

Checked it and battery is good. The voltage on battery is good as well

I agree.

Many people don't know how to check battery.
It is not easy to check.

If you have never replaced the battery, you should replace it.
