The alternator is one of the most important parts of your vehicle’s electrical system. It is responsible for charging the battery and keeping the electrical system running while the engine is running. If your alternator fails, your car will not be able to start or stay running. That’s why it’s important to be aware of the signs of alternator failure and to know when to take your car in for repair.
Signs of Alternator Failure
There are several symptoms that may indicate that your alternator is failing. If you notice any of the following, it’s time to bring your car in for service:
- The battery warning light on your dash is lit up
- Your car won’t start
- The headlights are dimming or flickering
- The interior lights are dimming or flickering
- The power windows are slow to roll up or down
- The power locks are slow to engage or disengage
If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important not to ignore them. A failed alternator can lead to a dead battery, which can leave you stranded. It can also cause damage to other parts of the electrical system.
