The alternator generates electricity while your engine is running. It keeps your battery charged and powers essential systems like headlights, air-conditioning, and onboard electronics.
Common signs include dim or flickering lights, a dead battery, warning lights on the dash, slow power windows, and unusual sounds like whining or growling from the engine bay.
