Understanding Alternators and Starters
If your car doesn’t start, don’t just blame the battery. The real issue could be a faulty starter or alternator.
Starter Problems
The starter is vital for cranking your engine. Faulty starters can cause your engine to struggle starting, or not start at all, often due to electrical or mechanical failures.
Alternator Functions
The alternator recharges your battery as you drive and powers essential electrical systems like headlights and wipers. A malfunctioning alternator can lead to erratic electrical behavior or cause your engine to stop running. If your engine starts but dies soon after, the alternator might not be maintaining a charge.
