Alternators

The alternator is one of the most essential parts in your Ford, which is used to charge the battery and provide power to various electrical systems when the engine is running. The alternator works in conjunction with the battery to generate power for the electrical components of a vehicle, like the interior and exterior lights as well as the instrument panel. Alternators are typically found near the front of the engine and are driven by the crankshaft. Common signs that the alternator is wearing out include dim lights or a warning light on your dashboard. You might also notice that your battery is dying frequently, which is due to a weak alternator not being able to supply power to it consistently. Your alternator can also start to produce whining or grinding noises, which might be caused by pulleys being out of place. None of these symptoms should be ignored, or you might not be able to start your vehicle the next time you need to get somewhere. When you need a replacement alternator, make sure you invest in an OEM part that will fit your Ford model. You can shop our webstore for a wide selection.
