At Mercedes-Benz of Annapolis, we believe Mercedes-Benz repair and replacements should be easy. That’s why we offer online scheduling and part purchasing, and why we’re sharing everything you need to know about recognizing signs of wear or damage to essential parts like your alternator. Your alternator helps to charge the battery while you drive, and you’ll want to bring it in for service as soon as you notice these common signs of wear.
Your Vehicle is Struggling to Start
It can sometimes be challenging to separate issues with the alternator from issues with the battery. If the battery fails to charge while driving due to issues with the alternator, it can make it difficult to start the vehicle or run essential systems like the lights and other accessories. If you’re struggling to turn your vehicle over, it may indicate the need for alternator repairs.
Your Lights Vary in Brightness
If your vehicle lights start to dim or become very bright, this may be a sign of alternator issues. When the alternator starts to fail, it will send inconsistent surges of energy, which can lead to bright or dim interior or exterior lights.
Your Battery Light Comes On
Of course, the battery light on the dashboard may indicate an issue with the battery, but the light can also signal problems throughout the battery’s electrical system, including the alternator. Because the alternator is built to deliver a specific amount of voltage, the light may turn on if there is more or less power going to the battery.
