Your alternator is responsible for turning your car’s mechanical energy into electrical current. In more modern vehicles, alternator problems can be indicated by a warning light on the dashboard that will automatically come on once the electrical output of the alternator drops below a certain level.
For older cars, alternator faults can be identified through signs such as:
• dim headlights
• a growling or whining noise
• a dead battery
• A scent of burning rubber or hot wires
