Warning Signs That Your Alternator Needs Serviced:
- Malfunctioning or Non-Working Accessories - A failing alternator will not provide enough voltage to keep accessories working smoothly, so if you notice that your windshield wipers are moving slowly or unusually or your windows are taking a while to go up or down, a bad alternator could be the cause.
- Dim or Overly Bright Lights - If your alternator is not providing sufficient power to your electronic components you may see lights that are too dim, too bright, or flickering.
- Burning Smell or Strange Sounds - The belt system that works with the alternator runs constantly and if it's misaligned or malfunctioning it may be causing an unpleasant burning odor. If your belt is misaligned you may also notice a strange growling sound.
- Difficulty Starting Car, Stalling, or Dead Battery - A bad alternator won’t be able to charge your battery while the car is running. If you find that your battery dies often even after a jumpstart, your alternator may be malfunctioning.
