I don't buy used or rebuilt alternators.
I take the alternator off the car, and down to the local electric shop, who will replace everything for $105. Cash.
Then, I am certain that the part fits, and has been tested, and will work.
Same day service. Drop it off in the morning.
A used part is a pig in a poke. It may be fine. It may be already dead, and then you're troubleshooting, getting frustrated, and replacing it under a used warranty.

It's working now!
Stupid mistake on my part... when connecting the positive wire to the alternator I missed the bolt with the loop and the nut jammed it down between the plastic so there was no connection... not even sure how I did that!
Anyways, turns out that the 04 S60 alternator is compatible afterall. No errors and charging strong.
Thank you to everyone who contributed their advice.
