Signs to Expect When There is a Loose Alternator Belt

Signs to Expect When There is a Loose Alternator
Belt
2
The alternator keeps the charge going into the
battery so that the power can continue to cycle
throughout the vehicle.
3
The alternator spins inside the car with the
help of an alternator belt, which wraps around a
pulley that is connected to the alternator.
4
The crankshaft and alternator are able to rotate
together by the alternator pulley and if you
didnt have this pulley, then the alternator
would not be able to do its job
5
Gradually, the alternator belt becomes
susceptible to wear and tear damage or it may
even come loose from the pulley.
6
Here are some of the most common symptoms of a
loose alternator belt, which needs to be replaced.
7
Battery warning light
8
One of the first symptoms that you should notice
is the battery warning light coming on as this
light does not always mean there is a problem
with the battery itself.
9
It could just mean there is an electrical problem
in the vehicle which is impacting the battery and
that may be the loose alternator belt.
10
Notice flickering lights
11
When you are driving your car and suddenly notice
the lights flickering or dimming inside the
cabin, this could mean you either have battery
issues or alternator issues.
12
If its a problem with the alternator belt, the
flickering or dimming lights may stay consistent
for quite some time before the electrical power
goes out entirely.
13
The car starts to stall
14
If your alternator belt gets loose as youre
driving, it will cause your engine to stall and
youll lose acceleration power and will be forced
to pull over onto the side of the road.
15
If this symptom is consistent with the
flickering lights issue, then a loose alternator
belt is more likely the cause.
16
Get your battery dead
17
When the alternator can no longer fully charge
the battery because of a loose alternator belt,
the battery will then try to provide all the
power to the vehicle on its own.
18
Unfortunately, the battery will die within
minutes because it doesnt have enough power to
sustain all the vehicles energy needs by itself
19
Unable to start the car
20
The alternator gives the battery the charge it
needs to power the spark plugs so that they can
ignite the air and fuel mixture in the combustion
chamber of the engine.
21
If you have a loose alternator belt, then the
alternator wont be able to start this ignition
process for the car and your engine wont start.
