Our experienced technicians at Eubanks Auto Electric have been working on the electrical components of vehicles for years, making our shop the go-to place for ATV, truck, and equipment owners. We understand that the starter and alternator are crucial components of engines, and we’re equipped to help you keep these parts in great condition.
In this article, our team will go over three signs you might need an alternator replacement service. If you notice any of the following issues affecting your vehicle, just give us a call.
- Dim or Too-Bright Lights – Your alternator supplies the power to your vehicle’s battery, which, in turn, runs the lights. One sign that you might need an alternator replacement is if your lights are becoming too dim or too bright. This can indicate that the lights are either not getting enough power or are getting too much, and both issues can be traced back to the alternator.
- Difficulty Starting – Another sign you may need an alternator replacement is if you have difficulty starting your engine. This problem can be caused by multiple issues, such as a dead battery or a faulty starter, but a bad alternator is another possibility. If your alternator is not keeping the battery charged, then you will need to get it replaced.
- Stalling – A third sign you may need an alternator replacement is that your engine keeps stalling. If your vehicle has been stalling frequently lately, we encourage you to come to our shop to have us inspect your alternator—if it can be repaired, we’ll take care of it, and if it needs to be replaced, we can take care of that as well.
