1. Dim or flickering headlights: A weak or failing alternator may not be able to provide enough power to the electrical system, causing the headlights to dim or flicker.
2. Difficulty starting the engine: A bad alternator can cause the battery to become drained, making it difficult or impossible to start the engine.
3. Electrical system malfunctions: Other electrical components in the car, such as the radio, power windows, and air conditioning, may not function properly or at all if the alternator is not working correctly.
4. Battery warning light: If the alternator is not charging the battery properly, the battery warning light on the dashboard may illuminate.
5. Growling or whining noise: A growling or whining noise from the engine compartment may indicate a problem with the alternator bearings.
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to have your car inspected by a qualified mechanic as soon as possible to diagnose the problem and make the necessary repairs.
