Function of the Alternator

The alternator generates electrical power to run the vehicle’s electrical systems and charge the battery while the engine is running. Driven by a belt connected to the crankshaft, it converts mechanical energy into alternating current (AC), which is rectified to direct current (DC). A failing alternator causes dimming lights, a dead battery, warning lights on the dashboard, electrical system malfunctions, and eventually a no-start condition.

Why order it from Partszar

A faulty sensor, coil or starter feeds the engine the wrong signal, so it runs rich, misfires, will not start or drops into limp mode, and the fault light stays on until it is fixed. Once this is replaced the ECU gets what it expects and the vehicle runs the way it did when it was new.
