It sends power to essential parts of your vehicle like the headlights, the engine fan, ignition coils and various parts of the fuel injection system. It powers non-essential, but still very important parts like the radio and air conditioning system.rnrnIt’s important to have your alternator checked regularly because it’s not always readily apparent when it fails.
