Signs your Alternator Needs to Be Replaced
If your engine cranks slowly, this could be caused by a faulty alternator that needs to be replaced. Strange noises coming from under the hood may also be due to an alternator that needs work. Damaged alternator bearings can cause a rumbling sound. Squealing can also be heard from a loose or worn belt. The vehicle's battery might be dead or discharged due to a bad alternator. You also might have problems with the starter where it does not function properly. It might make a clicking noise or not turn as strongly as it should. You may also see signs in your lights. They will be dim or get brighter as the engine speed increases. Your dashboard might have an alternator or charging warning light. This can turn on if your alternator needs work. However, the warning lights could be coming on due to a number of reasons not related to the alternator.
During Inspection
The mechanic will perform a visible inspection. They will look at the fuses and the fuse links. They will also look at the battery cables, and see if there is any corrosion. The connectors to the alternator will be checked to see if they're damaged. They will also be looked at to see if they are loose. The belt will also be looked at, as well as the bearing inside. If the alternator's visible inspection is ok, then it can be likely that it needs to be replaced.
