What Does the Alternator Do?

A car is needs various parts to function for it to work properly. It’s sort of like the human body. If you think of car like the body and its parts like organs, just imagine an organ getting sick or failing. Then, it’s not that hard to imagine why your car fails when just one part goes bad or stops working.


Your car uses electricity to start the engine and run other devices (radio, air conditioning). If it only depended upon the battery, it would soon deplete the battery. That’s where the alternator comes in If you look at the engine, it’s in the front and has a belt and vents on either side (cars prior to the 1960s used dynamos).

The alternator is like a generator. It provides power for the headlights. These days, too, it powers all the cool extra gadgets with which modern vehicles are coming. Most think the battery does all that. Not so. The battery only starts your car. The moment the battery starts your engine, the alternator takes over the supplying power job. The battery will, however, will run all those things if you run it without turning on your engine or if your alternator fails.

The alternator also recharges your battery. Have you ever accidentally left on your lights or left something else on and somehow depleted your battery? You then got a “jump” and all was good. That’s because the alternator fully re-energized your battery.

Check everything - windows, wipers, brakes, etc. When they are all off, try the battery again.
