Alternator Repair & Replacement Service at D.E.L. Motors

You may not think much about the components that keep your vehicle running until you have problems. One of those parts is the alternator. When it fails, it can leave you stranded around Junction City, Milford City, or Topeka. Avoid these issues with alternator service at D.E.L. Motors.

What Your Alternator Does

The alternator is part of the big three that start your engine: alternator, ignition, and battery. They work in conjunction with each other. The ignition creates energy that turns the alternator’s rotor, which rotates to produce voltage to charge the battery. The battery uses energy to start the engine. While driving, the alternator also helps power accessories, such as interior lights, radio, and AC.

When the alternator has problems, it prevents the battery from staying charged. You may need to have the battery jumped, even if it’s new. You may see a light on your dash telling you to check for issues when the alternator is failing. Some models don’t provide any indication until you’re left stranded.

When to Have the Alternator Serviced

Your vehicle may give you some clues when the alternator is having issues. They can include the following:

• The battery light stays lit after you start the engine, even though there’s nothing wrong with it.
• Lights get dim when you start the engine.
• The radio and other accessories stop working for a few seconds intermittently.
• You hear a squeal or grinding sound.
• Rubber is burning from the alternator belt breaking.

If you experience these issues, schedule service for your vehicle right away. You don’t want to be stuck with a vehicle that won’t start. You can contact the service team at D.E.L. Motors to get you back on the road with a healthy alternator.
