Maybe buy an original equipment (OE) part with a lifetime warranty. They're pretty easy to replace so carry an extra one to get you home. I don't buy parts from the dealer because they are way overpriced. But don't buy the cheapest one either. Try to find a name brand like Bosch or Standard and you will have better luck. I did.

Search for OEM delco parts I got tired of starters and calipers that last a year , also look for a motor to chassis ground or any wires loose/broken , vehicles can have wires that were not applicable to that vehicle and just hang there from a 'generic" harness
