Alternators

The alternator on your vehicle is a vital part of your vehicle's charging system. Without an alternator, you wouldn't be able to use your power windows or use any lighting, and the battery inside your vehicle wouldn't stay charged. Alternators are an important part of your vehicle that helps recycle the energy that has been created by the battery in your vehicle. The electrical energy is generated from mechanical energy when your alternator is working as it should be. While the alternator is not a part that needs to be replaced regularly, you should be aware of the signs of an alternator that may be failing. Some signs that your alternator might be going bad are dim lights, a stalling engine, or you may constantly have a dead battery. You may also have a service engine light lit on your dashboard.Ê
You might even hear grinding noises from your alternator which is a sign that a bearing might be bad inside of it.
