Chrysler 300 Alternators & Parts

An alternator is a device that converts mechanical energy into electric current. Connected to the engine crankshaft via a belt, the alternator transforms part of engine output into electricity that powers the dash, recharges the battery, etc. When the alternator fails, your Chrysler 300 doesn’t stop immediately. It triggers the warning light on the dash informing you that you run on the battery charge and, given that the amount of energy it stores is small, you will run out of it very soon. But before it fails completely, it will give you a few telltale signs that include flickering or dim headlights, dashboard warning lights, whining or rattling noise, weak battery, and some other electrical issues.

The alternator is a common trouble spot of the Chrysler 300. Moisture in combination with electricity results in aggressive corrosion. However, all too often an alternator failure results from the problem with its drive belt or the pulley’s bearing, which is why you should make sure that the issue is actually in the alternator itself before buying a replacement one. OE alternators can cost a boatload of money. We offer Chrysler 300 replacement alternators sourced from reputable aftermarket manufacturers that ensure the same quality and performance as OE for less money.
