Dodge Avenger Alternator

With dozens of parts that require electrical power and more than a mile of wiring in your car, the Dodge Avenger alternator is tasked with generating and delivering a plentiful supply of electricity. If the alternator isn't working properly, your car could be untrustworthy or break down on you. Fortunately, the repair won't break the bank and AutoZone has Dodge Avenger alternators and charging system components to meet your needs.

An alternator generates electricity by changing mechanical motion into electricity. A belt-driven pulley on the alternator spins magnets around a coil, creating an alternating current. It's converted to a direct current before it can be used by your car's electrical components, and excess energy is stored in the battery so your car will have a full supply to start it next time.

When to Change Your Alternator

Alternators are a durable part that can often last a car's lifetime, but sudden failure is possible with any component. If there's a problem with the alternator, Dodge Avenger models could have signs exhibited such as strange problem with various electrical systems, a burning smell under the hood, dim lights, a whining noise from the engine area, or a squealing belt. A failed alternator can cause a power shortage and your engine can stall or your battery may not charge.

Dodge Avenger Alternator Replacement Cost

The Dodge Avenger alternator is easily accessed near the front of the engine bay at the bottom. It's a straightforward repair that many DIYers can feel comfortable doing on their own.
