alternator and starter motor
Are they different?
Starters and alternators are two different components found in most automatic cars.
A Starter is an electric motor that turns the engine over when the key is turned to ignite. The starter receives an electric signal from the ignition switch, which activates the starter motor and turns the engine’s flywheel.
An alternator is a device that generates electrical power in the vehicle’s charging system. The alternator takes mechanical power from the engine via a belt and converts it into electrical energy,w which is used to charge the battery and in turn power the electrical system of the vehicle.
How much does it cost to change or replace a starter or alternator?
Depending on the model and manufacturer of your car, the cost start from $180 and can go up to $1000 in some cases. If the starter is broken, the replacement cost can be lower, but the cost of the alternator will depend on the vehicle type.
Common problems of the failure of the alternator are carbon brushes, contact rings, or issues around the voltage regulator. The mechanic working on your car will be able to inspect other parts that could cause problems with the alternator. Coronary around batteries and drive belts are common problems that can cause the issue.
