If the car generator is broken, the following problems will occur: Dimming of car lights or dashboard lights: The alternator is part of the vehicle's electrical system. Its main function is to provide power to operate the starter, ignition, and all electronic accessories in the car. If the generator is damaged, the car lights or dashboard lights will begin to dim. Once the instrument lights or headlights become dim, this is a clear sign of potential alternator failure. Battery or accumulator damage: A car battery, as a supplement to the generator, can only be charged to the point where it can accept a charge. If the battery is insufficiently charged or damaged, the car will continue to run, but after a short time, the lights will dim again, indicating a problem with the charging system. If the vehicle has difficulty fully charging the battery after starting, this problem may be related to the alternator. Car generator belt: The alternator works in conjunction with a system belt. If the belt does not rotate freely, excessive friction will cause the belt to heat up, producing a burning rubber smell. If you notice a smell similar to an electrical fire, this may indicate that the belt on the alternator pulley is slipping, resulting in poor generator output.
