OEM Saab Alternators
In order for your Saab to start, you need ignition. That comes about thanks to your battery and spark plugs, which deliver the electricity that fuels combustion. However, most of your vehicle's systems and accessories rely upon electricity that's generated by your alternator. As a matter of fact, the alternator produces the electricity that your battery stores and uses.
How Alternators Work
It all starts with the crankshaft converting the vertical motion from the engine pistons into rotary motion. That moves a drive belt that's attached to a pulley on the rotor shaft. The shaft spins, agitating magnetic coils inside. That produces a magnetic field that a rectifier captures as AC power and converts into the DC power that runs such parts as the power windows, sound system, wipers, and more.
However, even the highest quality alternator can begin to fail. That's not ideal, since your battery is left to meet all demand for electricity. That's going to drain your battery quickly, which can leave you stranded by the side of the road.
How to Spot Alternator Problems
Signs of alternator failure aren't always obvious, but include:
- A whining noise coming youÕre your engine
- Your sound system starts acting up
- Your power windows stop operating
- Your headlights begin to dim or flicker
- Your battery keeps dying
Buy Genuine Saab Alternators Online and Save
A new alternator can cost as much as $2000 at retail, so you'll want to be sure that yours is failing before you replace it. A good way to determine that is to check the batteryÕs voltage with the engine turned off. If it reads lower than 12.5 volts, give it a quick charge and then test again. If you donÕt see a higher voltage reading after the charge, your alternator is probably going bad. Fortunately, our online auto parts store sells authentic Saab alternators for far less than MSRP. That means you get the guaranteed compatibility that you want, and save money as well! Buy now and we'll ship your order directly to your home!
