Alternator
The alternator in your car is what keeps the battery running; if it stops working, so will your car, truck, or RV. When you have difficulty getting your vehicle to start and an old battery isn't the problem, the issue most likely is with your alternator. To get your vehicle running smoothly again, have the faulty alternator repaired or replaced by the team at Blue Lake Auto & Repair.
Signs of a bad alternator
Unless you're a mechanic, you might not realize there's something wrong with your alternator at first. Common signs that your alternator has gone bad and needs to be repaired or replaced are:
- Burning rubber smell while driving
- Difficulty starting your car
- Headlights that are too bright or too dim
- No charge in your battery
- Stalling while driving
- Whining noises under your hood
Because the alternator is such a critical component of your car, you'll be unable to drive at all if it stops working. To prevent this, it's important to set up an alternator replacement or repair appointment when you begin to notice these warning signs.
