Mitsubishi Outlander Alternator

If you drive a Mitsubishi Outlander, it's the alternator that generates the power necessary to operate the electrical systems as well as recharge the battery. It uses electromagnetic principles to convert the engine's rotation into electrical energy, but it's a part that will eventually fail. You could be left stranded if your alternator quits, but the fix is relatively simple. AutoZone carries Mitsubishi Outlander alternators from popular brands like Bosch and Valeo.

Over the years, an alternator can deteriorate or quit suddenly. If that happens, you could experience signs have a problem that include dim headlights or interior lights, electrical functions that aren't reliable, smoke from under the hood, whining or whirring noises, a battery light, and even a check engine light due to low voltage codes. If you have one or more of these symptoms, it might be time to change the alternator.
