The alternator is one of your Ford's most essential components, as it produces the electricity that allows almost every other system to work. As time passes, the alternator can become worn or damaged. Alternator problems can cause various effects, ranging from dim headlights to starting difficulties. As your Ford dealership, we'd like you to know a few signs that you need to visit us for an alternator repair. Burning Smells Foul, burning smells from under the hood could mean the alternator is in trouble. The three most common causes of these smells are an overheating alternator, a jammed pulley, and worn wiring. Wiring becomes fragile as it ages, and it can break. The alternator will continue to supply power to the broken wire, which heats up. The hot wire can cause the protective wire insulation to burn, and you'll smell burning plastic. A burning rubber smell could be due to a jamming alternator belt. The alternator belt moves at speed across several pulleys, which causes the pulleys to spin. A jammed pulley will cause friction as the belt moves over it, and you'll smell burning rubber. Finally, a hot metal smell could be due to a worn alternator struggling to produce power and overheating. We'll examine your engine and fix the cause of the burning smell. Bad Battery One of the alternator's functions is to recharge the battery. It charges the battery at full power for ten minutes, then switches to charging at 10% of capacity until the battery is replenished. The reduced charging rate prevents damage to the alternator and the battery: the charging rate drops when the battery signals that the initial charge was received. If your battery is failing, the signal won't be sent. The alternator will continue to charge the battery at full. The alternator will spin faster to try and supply more power, increasing the chance of damaging its components or causing it to overheat. We'll replace your battery and test your alternator to ensure it's in good condition.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Flickering Lights Flickering lights are usually a sign that the bulbs are going to blow. They can also be a sign that your alternator is wearing out. An older alternator slows down due to aged components, and this slowdown reduces its electricity production. The reduction is incremental, but also irreversible. When the alternator can't supply enough power for all your car's systems, your Ford's computer has to allocate the available power. Headlight bulbs are sensitive to power fluctuations, and the shifting level of electricity will cause the bulbs to flicker. Our technicians will check your bulbs and test the alternator to determine if it's causing the issue. Once we've identified the source of the problem, we'll repair it. If you suspect your alternator is failing, contact our service department ASAP at Coughlin Ford of Circleville in Circleville, OH.

Even excellently maintained vehicles need repairs sometimes. The local Ford dealership can take care of all the repairs your vehicle needs. This includes brake repairs. The dealership can also perform preventative maintenance on your brakes so they're less likely to fall into disrepair. How Often You Should Visit the Ford Dealership for Brake Service You need to have your brakes inspected at the Ford dealer at least once a year. That way, your dealer can make sure there's nothing wrong with the braking system. If there are problems, then you can have them repaired before they start causing major issues with how your braking system works. There are some forms of brake maintenance you need regularly, too. You'll need to top up your brake fluid level if it becomes too low, and you should have the brake fluid replaced every two years. The brake pads also need to be replaced regularly. Typically, they're replaced after every 20,000 to 70,000 miles you drive. Signs You Need to Head to the Dealer for a Brake Repair You Notice Issues with Your Brake Pedal When there's a problem with your braking system, your brake pedal may feel different. If you notice that the pedal has started to sit lower than usual, then you should definitely head to the dealer for a checkup. Sometimes you'll notice a lack of resistance or a spongy feeling when you step on the brake pedal, too. This also indicates a problem. You Feel Vibrations When Using the Brake Pedal You shouldn't feel your brake pedal move when you step on it to activate the brakes. The only time it should vibrate is if you have anti-lock brakes and you have to brake aggressively in an emergency stop. If the pedal vibrates during normal braking, then it can be a sign your rotors are warped. You Notice Your Vehicle Pulling to One Side Sometimes your brake linings can wear down unevenly. This may result in your vehicle pulling to one side when you step on the brake pedal. However, this pulling isn't always caused by unevenly worn brake linings; it can indicate that you need to have your brake fluid replaced, too. You Notice Reduced Responsiveness Reduced responsiveness can be very dangerous and requires immediate attention. You may find that it takes a little longer than normal for your car to stop after you step on the brake pedal. The problem may not be very serious at first, but if it gets worse, then it could lead to you getting into some dangerous situations. If your brakes are faulty, then you need to visit the dealer ASAP. Stop by Coughlin Ford of Circleville in Circleville, OH so we can take care of the problem.
