Alternators

Your alternator plays a critical role in the operation of your vehicle. It's a relatively simple component that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy through a process known as induction. The alternator is your Mercedes vehicle's electrical generator; it gives the heater its power, the lighting system its light, and helps to charge the battery. The alternator does its job when your engine is running. A sign of a faulty alternator can be flickering gauges, dimming headlights, or the growling sound or odd smell that seems to be coming from under the hood. Your alternator is made up of many parts that can wear out over time. A few of these parts are the rotor, stator, the diode assembly and the voltage regulator. Another sign of a possible alternator problem is your check engine warning light being illuminated. It is essential to have an alternator that runs well, especially due to the fact it is responsible for so many systems within your Mercedes vehicle.
