Ls400 Alternator Rectifier in LS 400 / Lexus LS 430 / Lexus LS 460 / Lexus 600h / Lexus 500h Club Posted July 5, 2010 Hey Kudos. I'm also in NZ and have a similar problem. 12 months ago I went through the whole power-steering leaking into the alternator scenario. From what I can remember they just cleaned out the alternator and replcaed the power steering pump and I was away again. Just recently the alternator has stopped charging the Battery. I'm wondering if I'm going to need to completely replace the alternator. There's a guy here in Hamilton selling them brand new for ~$500. I'm really hoping there's a cheaper option! Any info would be great. Cheers, Kieran
