How does an alternator help your car run?

The alternator is the component that charges the battery in your car. When you use electrical components in your car (stereo, lights, etc.), the battery loses power. The alternator recharges the battery, replenishing the lost battery power. The alternator is located in the engine compartment. If the alternator is not working properly, your car will only stay running for as long as the battery has power stored. Once the battery loses power, your car will not start. Normally, a malfunctioning alternator will turn on the battery warning light or will have a low volt gauge reading.

Alternator

Before repairing the alternator:

The mechanic should check the entire charging system before installing a new alternator, including checking battery cables for corrosion and the condition of the battery.

Steps when replacing an alternator:

  • Inspect entire charging system (battery, cables, alternator).
  • Inspect the drive belts.
  • Test alternator output.
  • Remove and replace alternator if found to be faulty.
  • Re-test alternator output.

Our recommendation for alternator replacements:

Ask your mechanic to inspect the condition of the charging system during every major service. The mechanic should also clean and tighten the battery cables during every major service.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Alternator?

  • Dead battery or battery will not hold a charge.
  • Dim lights.
  • Battery warning light is on.

Why repairing your alternator is important:

Your alternator charges your battery, which powers the electronics in your vehicle, such as the radio and the air conditioning. The battery is also needed to turn on your vehicle. A malfunctioning alternator will not charge your car’s battery, and your vehicle will eventually run out of battery life and not be able to start.

I lost the keys to my 1997 Chevy 1500. I got a replacement lock cylinder and keys. I had to drill the old one out to be able to turn it to the start position to release it and remove the old lock cylinder. I put the new one in and now there's no resistance when I turn it to the start position, none of the dash lights up and the radio is on at all times. I was careful when drilling to be sure I didn't wreck anything. don't believe that I did but I don't know what the heck is going on right now. What I mean by no resistance is that there does not feel like there is a spring or anyting to return it to the Run position after I turn it to start. Nothing kicks in like the fuel pump, windows and locks don't work, blower fan or anything else that should when the key is on. Thanks for any help!
