Recently, my colleagues 2012 Toyota Matrix 2.4L lost electric power steering and would not re-start upon arriving at home. He replaced the alternator and still it remain non-startable until diagnosed and by restoring the fusible link near the fuse box.
The alternator shorted-out. He also noticed that the alternator output current post was slightly loose.
What are the possible causes of the short? Are the stator, rotor, copper slip rings damaged?
He returned the damaged alternator to Autozone as core.
