What's the difference between starter problems and alternator issues?
Is your car, RV or other vehicle taking way too long to start? You could have an issue with your starter or alternator. How can you be sure? Here are a few ways to diagnose your problem:
- A bad starter may still crank your car, but only slowly
- A loose starter will make a clattering noise
- A bad alternator can cause foul odors and unusual noises
- Flickering or dim headlights and dashboard lights can signal a weak alternator
