As the engine runs, the alternator generates the electrical power that charges the battery and feeds the vehicle's electrical systems. Signs the original may need replacing include a charging/battery warning light, dimming lights, or a battery that won't stay charged; if a failed alternator is the cause, this remanufactured unit replaces it. Country of origin: Mexico.
