Alternators

Alternators are the primary source of power for vehicles. They help to recharge your battery throughout the day and deliver power to different electrical systems. Without the alternator, your Lexus would run off of the battery reserve until completely stopping and failing to respond in any way. Driving with a faulty alternator or belt can lead to reduced production or complete loss of electricity, with the following symptoms: incorrect or non-responsive dashboard display, dimming or flickering headlights and tail lights, distorted sound from the stereo, among other electronic issues. It is not advised to drive the vehicle in such a state, and it is best to stop on the side of the road, turn/disconnect all of the power-consuming devices, such as mobile phone chargers, and wait for a tow. If you have no option of stopping, reduce your power consumption to a minimum. Having a genuine alternator is an absolute necessity if you want to ensure the safety and longevity of your Lexus' electrical components. Longo Lexus has a lot of OEM options when it comes to alternators and accompanying components so you can stay powered up on the road. Find the one for your make and model here.
