What Do Alternators Do?
Alternators, in conjunction with the battery and voltage regulator, work as the electrical controller of your car, truck, or vehicle. The alternator transfers mechanical energy into electrical energy to power your vehicle’s accessories.
Consequences of Alternator Failure
Alternators cost a lot of money. The average price for alternator repair is around $400, and a new alternator can cost $1,000 or more.

Your alternator might be fine even if it tests poorly, though. The problem might just be a loose belt not allowing the engine to turn your car’s rotor shaft. Or your lightbulbs might be burned out. Your radio wires may have come disconnected. You may simply have a burnt-out fuse.
