Toyota Corolla Alternator

Signs of a Bad Alternator

Although they're designed to last, alternators can fail unexpectedly. If that happens, symptoms are exhibited that can lead you to a correct diagnosis. Your lights may be dimmer than usual or excessively bright. You could smell burning rubber or hear growling and whining noises under the hoods. A bad alternator can be a reason your car stalls or the battery light comes on, and a dead battery is a sign there's a problem.
