The alternator is a small motor that is run by the serpentine belt. The belt turns a rotor within the alternator's housing. This rotor spins a pair of electromagnets around a coil. The fast spinning creates kinetic energy that is transferred into DC voltage. This power is made from your running car, and it charges your car battery, and runs other parts of your car like the water pump, and windshield wipers.

How do I Tell if My Car Alternator is Bad?

When your alternator takes a turn for the worse, it will show certain symptoms. Drivers should look for lower amounts of energy inside the cabin such as light flickering or lower than normal dashboard or overhead light. You may hear squealing from the serpentine belt which may not be spinning the alternator rotor correctly, or your alternator motor will appear corroded or overused. In this case, have your alternator inspected and find the replacement alternator parts you need for the replacement.
