Hi guys,
I’m experiencing some issues with my car and suspect that the alternator might be failing. I’m not very experienced with car maintenance, so I’d appreciate some help in identifying the signs of a bad alternator.
What are the common symptoms or warning signs that indicate an alternator might be going bad? Specifically, I’m looking for things to watch out for like unusual noises, dashboard lights, or performance issues.
Any tips or advice would be really helpful. 
Signs of a bad alternator include dimming headlights, a dead battery, electrical malfunctions, strange noises (like grinding or whining), difficulty starting the car, and the battery warning light on the dashboard. Immediate attention is necessary to avoid breakdowns.
