OEM Alternators FAQ
What Do Alternators Do?
Simply, the alternator generates the electricity that your vehicle uses, from the spark plugs to the battery to accessories such as your sound system.
How Do Alternators Work?
Regardless of whether you drive a Volkswagen, Dodge, or Toyota vehicle, your alternator works the same way. The crankshaft turns the vertical motion of the engine pistons into a rotary motion. That motion causes a drive belt to spin a pulley on the rotor's shaft. The magnetic coils inside the rotor get agitated, thereby creating the electrical energy you need.
How Do You Spot Alternator Problems?
Sadly, even the best alternator can fail. Signs aren't always obvious, but symptoms include:
- Dimmed or flickering headlights
- You experience sound system issues
- You hear a whining noise from the engine compartment
- Your battery dies over and over again
- Your power windows don't respond when you press the switch
