OEM Toyota Alternators Online

Your battery might start your Toyota or Scion vehicle, but an original alternator you can depend on is what keeps it running. Your factory alternator does that best. Its job is sending consistent power between your car battery and the rest of its electrical systems. However, even high-quality Toyota and Scion alternators can go bad.

how to Spot Alternator Problems

There are signs, sure, but alternator failure usually happens without warning. Symptoms include headlight flicker, inconsistent car radio or entertainment system operation, and a burning smell from your battery or alternator. The worst case is electrical failure. You might also see a dashboard alternator warning light or hear engine squeaking. A dead battery can also point to alternator trouble, and you can even cause alternator failure accidentally, with an incorrect jump-start or accessory install. The result: nearby auto parts can wear out or get damaged, especially if your alternator belt is too tight or your alternator is leaking fluid.
