Alternator

Charges the battery once the engine runs. Driven by the accessory belt.

Teaching inline-four schematic. Not a specific car. Generator

What it does

Feeds the electrics on the move. A charge light is not always a dead battery.

Pulley into the serpentine, upper engine.

Not a diagnosis. Interval and part number: the manufacturer’s schedule.

Common signs

  • Battery going flat while driving.
  • Charge light, headlights dipping at idle.

There is a “Vite mon alternateur” page: a vendor, not a teaching sheet. Do not merge it with this hub.
