The alternator is one of the components of a vehicles charging system. It works in tandem with the voltage regulator and battery. The work of an alternator is to create electrical energy by converting the engine's mechanical energy via the alternator belt. Apart from charging the battery, it also supplies the vehicle with additional electric power to ensure its working properly.
When the alternator is working properly, the car's engine gets a spark, the headlights produce light, and the heater works properly. An alternator usually works for between 10 to 15 years before it requires to be replaced. When it fails, the engine may run for a while on power from the battery until it is depleted. Why Yours May Need Replacing There are many instances when it is necessary to replace an alternator. While the part may not have completely failed, it could be experiencing difficulty supplying electric current to where it is needed in the vehicle. |

The following are just a few signs that your alternator needs an inspection:
1. Dim Lights When your vehicle's lights start dimming or flickering for no apparent reason, the problem could be the alternator. The problem gets worse at night but could also be seen in dash lights. If the light appears to pick up as the RPM increases, then it is time you replaced the alternator. 2. Service Engine Light When you start seeing signs of engine trouble, it could be the alternator. Depending on your vehicle's model, it could be anything between a battery icon indicator, ALT, and Check Engine. Don't wait until the car stalls before replacing your alternator. |

3. Odd Noises
Due to age-related issues, the serpentine belt is likely to have stretched and may no longer be spinning the alternator well enough. The result is less charge coupled with squealing noise. Also, the bearings inside the alternator could have worn out leading to grinding or growling noises. 4. Electrical Issues When an alternator has issues, it can power the lights and start the car but not functions like the radio, windows or seats. You may start noticing signs such as the radio suddenly turning off. That's a reason enough for alternator replacements. 5. Stalling Engine Say you are driving and suddenly the engine cuts. It is possible that the alternator is to blame. Your engine requires a substantial amount of electricity for fuel injection to happen. When the engine stalls, it is likely that it is not getting enough electric power from the alternator. 6. Dead Battery A malfunctioning alternator cannot fully charge the battery. Within no time, the battery is depleted and can no longer power the vehicles electrics or the starter motor. Replacing the battery will not help. Why Choose Us For Alternator Replacements?
