Is your engine not turning over? The first step is to check the battery connections. They need to be securely fastened, clean and corrosion-free. If the battery is supplying adequate electricity and the car is still not turning over, the mechanical components of the starter may be faulty. The starter is part of the vehicle's cranking system, which also includes the battery, wiring and control switches.
Do your headlights dim during use? Your alternator could be the problem. The alternator recharges the battery and supplies electrical power when the engine is running. If the vehicle's electrical requirements exceed the alternator's output, then the additional electricity comes from the battery, draining it over time. This leads to your headlights dimming and is one of the signs of a faulty alternator.
If you experience these symptoms, it is time to see a
Real Car Guy about a manufactured alternator or starter. Unlike a rebuilt alternator or starter that has only faulty components repaired, the
ACDelco manufacturing process replaces all faulty components within the part, plus the ones that are subject to wear, with premium-quality components. The new components
ACDelco uses incorporate the latest technology, which may include improvements made since the part was originally manufactured. These improvements are something no rebuilder can match. No wonder Real Car Guys won't settle for anything less!
