Function And Common Failure Modes
An alternator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy to charge the battery and power vehicle electrical systems while the engine runs. Typical failure causes include worn brushes, defective voltage regulator or diodes, bearing wear, and drive-belt problems. Common symptoms are a persistent battery warning lamp, dimming or flickering lights, slow engine cranking or unexplained battery drain.
Replacement Guide
Standard replacement steps (general guidance): disconnect the negative battery terminal; relieve and remove the accessory drive belt; disconnect electrical connectors and remove the alternator mounting bolts; swap in the replacement unit, torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specification and re-tension the drive belt. After installation, verify charging voltage and correct operation of the charging system.
Durability And Maintenance
Alternator lifespan depends on vehicle use and operating conditions; many units last well over 100,000 km but can fail earlier under heavy stop-start use or exposure to contaminants. Regular inspection of the drive belt, pulleys and electrical connectors helps prevent premature failure. Replace a failing alternator promptly to avoid battery damage and electrical faults.
