Subaru Alternators

Why Are Subaru Alternators Important?

Your Subaru's alternator is a very important part of your WRX, Outback or Forester's electrical system. The alternator generates power to charge your car's battery and run the its electrical accessories, including the headlights, radio, and AC and heating systems. Without a properly functioning alternator, your Subaru won't run well.

How do Subaru Alternators Work?

The alternator is driven by the engine's serpentine belt . As it spins, it converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. This energy is then used to charge the vehicle's battery and electronic systems. The alternator also regulates the voltage to ensure the electrical components receive a steady supply of power. When this supply is interrupted, you know you have a problem.

How Do I Know My Subaru Alternator is Failing?

A failing alternator can lead to several issues in your car. You might see a battery warning or check engine light on your dashboard, or have dimming and flickering headlights. You may also find that things like the radio or GPS system are not working properly, and you could even get some unusual smells or sounds coming from the engine. If you see any of these signs, it's important to have your alternator looked at.
