What is an Alternator?
Before we get into the nitty-gritty of alternator repair, let’s first take a step back and review what an alternator is and what it does. Simply put, an alternator is a device within your vehicle that generates electricity to power the vehicle’s electrical system. This includes lights, climate control, infotainment, and more.
The alternator is powered by the engine via a serpentine belt and pulley system. As the engine runs, it turns the alternator’s Pulley which in turn rotates the Alternator’s rotor. The rotation of the rotor causes a magnetic field which then induces an electric current in the stator windings. That electric current is then passed on to the vehicle’s battery where it is stored until needed.
Common Signs of Alternator Issues
Now that we know a bit more about how an alternator works, let’s talk about some common signs that your alternator may be having issues. These can include:
- Dimming or flickering lights
- Dead battery
- Difficulty starting your vehicle
- Burning smell coming from under the hood
- Strange noises coming from under the hood
- Rapid clicking when you turn on your headlights
If you experience any of these issues, it’s time to bring your vehicle into our shop for expert Mazda alternator repair.
