What is the Alternator?
The alternator is a small generator that's located in your engine. The battery starts your vehicle, and the alternator takes over from there. When the engine is turned on, the alternator provides electricity to the electrical components of your vehicle. In addition, it supplies power to the battery, recharging it as you drive. Without an alternator in good condition, your vehicle would lose many of its abilities.
What Are Signs of a Bad Alternator?
Alternators can sometimes die without much warning, but they often do give signs when they're on their last legs. If you notice that the headlights or interior lights are dimmer than usual, or if they begin to pulsate and fluctuate between bright and dim, that's a sign that the alternator isn't working as it should. In addition, a failing alternator could cause some electrical components to stop working altogether while others remain functional. And, if you hear a squealing sound from the engine, it could be due to an alternator that's wearing down.
