OEM Jaguar Alternators

Sure, your Jaguar vehicle starts thanks to the battery, starter, and spark plugs teaming together to produce the ignition you need. After that, though, electricity for most of your systems and accessories is provided by your alternator. In fact, your alternator ensures that your battery has the full charge you need.

What the Alternator Does

First, the engine runs a drive belt that’s attached to a pulley on the rotor shaft. That causes the rotor to spin, agitating magnetic coils located inside. The coils generate a magnetic field that's captured as AC power by a rectifier. The rectifier converts that to DC power, which powers your battery, entertainment system, windows, wipers, and more.

Unfortunately, alternators can go bad, whether due to wear, damaged parts, incorrectly executed jumpstarts, and bad accessory installations. When that happens, you're at risk of getting stranded by the side of the road since your parts and systems are running on battery power only.

How to Spot A Failing Alternator

Signs of trouble include:

• Car lighting issues
• Inoperable power windows
• Car radio issues
• The battery dies over and over again
• You notice a burning odor from under the hood
• You hear a whining noise from the engine
