Great! You're on your way to an important event and your car won't start! You immediately think that the battery is dead. But it could also be the alternator.
The alternator feeds power to the electrical system for your entertainment system, accessories and charging ports. The battery gets recharged with any extra electrical power. A failing (failed) alternator may not be able to keep the battery charged.
Most often, when the alternator fails it is due to bearings failing and seizing up. You might hear a grinding noise or even an electrical smell. There are other symptoms your vehicle may be showing as well.
It's best to get your vehicle in for an inspection with a trained technician for diagnosing your vehicle's issue(s). You may contact us at 608-782-1375 or
