Yes. The alternator is used to keep the battery charged, while using the headlights, radio, a/c, etc. The starter to me is misstated because it actually cranks the engine. The ignition system starts it, and keeps it running.
This vehicle (like most cars) has both a starter and an alternator. The alternator is driven by a serpentine belt, and the starter is located on the lower part of the engine at the transmission, where the teeth engage with the flywheel/flex plate. An alternator for the 1992 Sentra usually costs around $120-150, and a starter in the range of $90-120.
The 'starter' actually turns the flywheel, enabling the car engine to start. The 'alternator' supplies AC & DC current to the electrical components of the engine and vehicle.
There is not a fusible link between the alternator and starter. There is a regulator on the alternator. The starter is directly connected to the battery, as is the alternator.
It should be on the transmission on the passenger side of the vehicle. It is easy to find because there should be wires running from the alternator to the starter solenoid.
check the alternator
You should check the starter and alternator.
Sometimes; if you operated the vehicle for some time with low voltage it could destroy your starter. Low voltage is the worst enemy of a starter motor.
Magnets are used in every vehicle built. They are found in the alternator, starter, and speakers of the vehicle. They may also be found used as devices to keep things closed.
No, and alternator generates DC current. A starter just uses DC current to start the engine.
The output lead from your alternator is bolted to the positive lead of the battery at the starter solenoid. The grounds are both to the vehicle body or, in some cars, the ground from the battery is grounded on the alternator bracket.
The positive battery cable goes to the starter, alternator, and electrical system. You need to consult the manufacturer for vehicle specifics.
Usually that happens with an alternator not the starter. Once the vehicle is started, you can actually remove the starter and it will still operate, just dont turn it off. What car is this for and give me more details...
