4 Signs Your Alternator Needs Attention
Your car’s alternator is a key component of the electrical system, taking energy from the crankshaft and converting it into electricity that is then stored in the battery. When you’re driving, the alternator keeps the battery charged and helps to power the car’s various electrical systems.
When the alternator starts to fail, there are a number of warning signs that you should be aware of. Here are four signs that tell you it might be time to replace your car’s alternator. 
- Warning Light
On most modern cars, a warning light shaped like a battery might come on when the alternator is failing. Older cars may have a light that says ALT (alternator) or GEN (generator), but they mean the same thing.
The light might only come on if you are using several electrical components. For example, you’re driving with the headlights on and there is no warning light. When you switch on the wipers, the warning light comes on but goes out when you turn off the wipers. The warning light is telling you that the voltage output of the alternator drops when it has to work harder to run more electrical systems. Read the rest of this entry »
