A faulty alternator can cause your battery’s power reserve to become exhausted to the point that your car won’t start. By getting to the shop at the first indication of an alternator issue, you’ll have the best chance to avoid ending up stranded and needing assistance. At A-1 Automotive, we provide expert alternator replacement and auto electric repair in the greater Portland, OR area. Here are five common signs of alternator trouble. Dimming or Flickering Lights If you notice your headlights, interior lights, or dashboard lights behaving erratically, it could be a sign of an underlying alternator issue. Since the alternator powers these electrical components, fluctuations in their brightness often signal a problem with its ability to maintain a consistent charge. Warning Light Commonly depicted as a battery icon, this light illuminates when the alternator isn't generating sufficient power to keep the battery charged. If you see this light come on, don't ignore it. Ignoring it could lead to a dead battery and an inoperable vehicle. Strange Sounds Unusual noises arising from your engine can indicate various issues, including alternator trouble. A common sound associated with alternator problems is a grinding or whining noise, which may suggest worn-out bearings or a malfunctioning belt. Difficulty Starting the Engine The alternator replenishes the battery's charge while the engine is running, so if it's malfunctioning, the battery might not have enough power to start the engine. If you experience difficulty starting your vehicle, it's worth having both the battery and alternator checked. Electrical Accessory Malfunctions Since the alternator powers various electrical components in your car, malfunctions in these systems can indicate alternator trouble. For example, if your power windows operate sluggishly or if your radio and air conditioning system intermittently cut out, it could be due to a failing alternator. Alternator Replacement & Auto Electric Repair in Portland, OR When you need auto repair in Portland, OR or Vancouver, WA, visit A-1 Automotive. At our local auto shop, we can expertly handle your car’s repair and maintenance needs. Feel free to give us a call today to schedule an appointment!
