Genuine GM Alternators

What Does an Alternator Do?

Located under the hood and connected to the engine, the alternator works as a generator that converts mechanical energy from the engine into electrical energy. This electrical power is then used to charge the battery and power various electrical components in your vehicle, including lights, radio, air conditioning, and more.

Signs of a Failing Alternator

As with any car part, the alternator can wear out over time. Look out for these signs that may indicate your alternator needs replacement:

• Dimming headlights or interior lights
• Flickering dashboard lights
• Strange noises, such as grinding or whining
• Difficulty starting the engine
• Dashboard warning lights, such as the battery or check engine light

If you notice any of these symptoms, it's essential to have your alternator inspected by a professional mechanic to prevent further damage to your vehicle's electrical system.

Recommended Inspection and Replacement

While the lifespan of an alternator can vary depending on the vehicle and driving conditions, it's generally recommended to have your alternator inspected at around 100,000 to 150,000 miles. However, if you frequently use electrical components or experience any of the signs mentioned above, it's a good idea to have it checked sooner.
