      How weather affects Alternator Repair

      Do you plan to take your vehicle to a place like Lake Havasu City, AZ with prolonged heat/cold or humidity in the next 3 months? Please consider the following impact on your vehicle:

      As the outside temperature increases, the speed of the chemical reactions within the battery accelerates. The higher speed of chemical reaction increases the output of the battery, but also accelerates the speed of battery degradation. The battery lifespan in Lake Havasu City, AZ can shorten by as much as 25% when comparing mild weather with extreme heat. Cars driven in a hot and dry climate as in Lake Havasu City, AZ need their timing belts replaced more often than those driven in mild climates. The dry air causes the rubber to become brittle more quickly leading to cracks or a snap.

      Symptoms of a bad alternator

      A bad alternator can take a toll on your vehicle’s electrical system, affecting the dashboard, lights, multimedia, AC, etc. This is because the alternator is one of the "pulsing hearts" of your vehicle's electrical and charging systems, acting as a power supply to many components. If you suspect an alternator issue in your car, read our checklist below to try and find similar symptoms to yours.

      1. Dim or Flickering Headlights

      A failing alternator struggles to provide consistent electrical power, causing headlights to dim or flicker.

      2. Battery Warning Light

      The vehicle’s dashboard illuminates the battery icon when the alternator fails to charge the battery adequately.

      3. Dead Battery

      A bad alternator fails to recharge the battery, eventually leaving it drained and unable to start the car.

      4. Electrical Failures

      Insufficient power output from the alternator can cause issues like malfunctioning power windows, radio, or dashboard lights.

      5. Strange Noises (Whining or Grinding)

      Worn bearings inside the alternator or a loose serpentine belt can create whining or grinding sounds near the engine.

      6. Burning Rubber or Electrical Smell

      Overheating in the alternator or a slipping belt can cause a distinct burning smell.

      7. Car Stalls or Struggles to Start

      A failing alternator can't supply enough power to keep the engine running or to start the car reliably.

      8. Dim Interior or Dashboard Lights

      A bad alternator reduces electrical power to the vehicle’s interior lighting and dashboard displays.
