What Is Alternator Failure?

The alternator in a car is responsible for charging the battery. Instruments and gauges in your car run on the battery and drain energy from it. The alternator rotates with a belt connected to the engine and charges the battery as the car consumes energy from it. If an alternator fails, the car will not be able to start as the starter motor requires energy from the battery. Similarly, the gauges and warning lights in the car will not work. In short, you would not be able to drive the car without a fully functional alternator.

Symptoms of Alternator Failure in the 2007 Focus

Electrical Wiring Problems

One of the most common symptoms of alternator failure in the 2007 Focus is flickering of lights.   The dashboard lights may randomly flicker and go off. Another common problem is the car stereo going off or the volume of music increasing as you accelerate.

Random Battery Drainage

If the alternator is faulty, it won’t charge the battery. Every time you start the car, the battery will give off energy and eventually drain out. If you notice that your battery is draining frequently, it is best to get the alternator checked.

The Starter Motor Won’t Work

Another symptom of the alternator not working is your car not starting at all. The alternator makes sure that there is enough energy in your battery to power the starter motor. The starter motor is what turns your engine initially to get it running. If your alternator is faulty, you will hear clicks when you try to start your car’s engine, but the engine won’t respond.
