With the sheer amount of advanced electronics in modern vehicles, the alternator serves a more important function than ever before. While converting engine power into electricity, your alternator keeps all the car’s electronic accessories operating, including the spark plugs that fire the engine’s cylinders. If your alternator runs into trouble, you’ll soon notice. The following three major signs of trouble should prompt you to visit your nearest Chevy dealer for alternator repair.

You Can’t Start Your Car

While the engine’s running, the alternator is recharging your battery. If it fails to do so, then you might park for the night without realizing that your battery’s dead. In the morning, your starter won’t have any electrical power from the battery, and your engine won’t start.
