If your vehicle suddenly won’t start, or the battery light flickers on your dash, the problem isn’t always the battery, it could be your alternator. As one of the most important components under your hood, the alternator keeps your car’s electrical system running and your battery fully charged. When it fails, everything from your headlights to your infotainment system, and even your whole car can shut down.
AutoNation Mobile Service now offers alternator replacement in Santa Clarita, to help keep your vehicle running smoothly from the comfort of your own driveway.
What Does an Alternator Do?
The alternator acts as a generator, converting mechanical energy from the engine into electricity. It helps power all electrical accessories, including your lights, power windows, audio system, and engine sensors, while also keeping the battery fully charged. Without an alternator, your car will rely solely on the battery, which quickly drains and leaves you stranded.
Symptoms of a Failing Alternator
A bad alternator often gives warning signs before it quits completely. Common symptoms include:
- Dimming or flickering headlights when idling or accelerating.
- Electrical issues, such as slow power windows or a malfunctioning radio.
- Battery warning light on the dashboard.
- Strange noises, like whining or grinding from the engine bay.
- Repeated dead batteries, even after a recent battery replacement.
If you experience any of these issues, it’s best to have your electrical system inspected. Driving with a weak alternator can cause further damage to your battery or even your vehicle’s electrical control modules.
