In Pakistan’s challenging driving conditions, alternators can fail due to several factors. High temperatures and excessive heat can cause the alternator’s internal components to wear out faster, especially in the summer months. Dust accumulation is another common problem, particularly in rural areas, which can enter the alternator and cause wear o r overheating. Water damage from heavy rains o r floods is also a factor, as it can affect the alternator’s electrical components. Electrical overloading, caused by the installation of additional electrical accessories such as high-powered lights o r sound systems, can also strain the alternator. Regular maintenance and cleaning of the alternator and ensuring proper ventilation can help prevent these issues.
