Alternators

The alternator in your Jeep or Dodge is responsible for charging the battery and powering the electrical components while the engine runs. If you notice any of the signs below, you might need to replace your alternator:

• Dimming headlights or interior lights - if you notice that your headlights or interior lights are dimming or flickering, it could be a sign that your alternator is failing.
• Dead battery - a dead battery is another common sign of a failing alternator. If you've been jump-starting your car regularly, it's time for a new alternator.
• Strange smells - if you smell something burning coming from the engine compartment, it could be due to an overheating alternator.
• Grinding noise - if you hear a grinding noise when starting your car, it could be a sign that the bearings in the alternator are going bad.
• Warning light on the dash - most cars have a warning light that comes on when the alternator is not working properly. If you see this light, you will want to inspect the problem immediately.
