Ford Alternators FAQ
How Do Ford Alternators Work?
It all starts when the crankshaft converts the vertical motion of the engine into a rotary motion, which moves a drive belt that's attached to a pulley located on the rotor shaft. Inside the shaft, coils get agitated and produce a magnetic field. That field is captured as DC power by a rectifier, and then converted to the AC power you need.
How Do You Spot A Bad Alternator?
Signs of trouble include:
- A burning odor from under your hood
- Parts making grinding or whining noises
- The battery repeatedly dies
- Your headlights flicker or dim
- You have sound system problems
- You're unable to operate your power windows
How Do I Check To See If My Alternator's Failing?
Simple. Perform a quick battery voltage check. If it reads low, charge it up and test it again. If it still reads under 12.5 volts, your alternator's likely on its last legs. Replace it as soon as possible to continue driving safely.
