Understanding Alternator Replacement Services at Sunland Tire
The alternator is a key component of your vehicle's charging system, essential for keeping the vehicle running. It works in tandem with the battery and voltage regulator to supply power to electrical components. Typically located at the front of the engine, the alternator can be recognized by its aluminum housing, vents, and an internal or external cooling fan. Depending on the vehicle, the alternator pulley is powered by either a serpentine belt or a v-belt. This mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy, generating a magnetic field that produces the alternating current used to charge the battery and power your vehicle’s electrical systems. Since alternators can heat up quickly, a functioning cooling fan is critical. While the battery can keep the vehicle running for a short period, it cannot sustain the vehicle in the long term without the alternator. Since the alternator also charges the battery, a faulty alternator will eventually cause the vehicle to become inoperable. It’s vital to have a malfunctioning alternator replaced as soon as possible.
