Why does radio fade when starting engine?

Starting the engine uses the battery to turn the engine over. Because turning over the engine requires a LOT of electrical power, the car automatically shuts off any electrical devices that are powered on, so it has more electricity to use.


How do you know when the alternator goes out?

If you are driving in the daytime, your car will loose power and then turn off. If you try to start it, it will not even crank. That's because once the alternator broke down, the engine was now using the power of the battery to run. And since the battery is not getting charged by the alternator, then the battery runs out of power and everything electrical in the car shuts down. If you are driving at night, your head lights will dim a lot and then your car shuts down. Try to start it and it won't even crank.
