 When the alternator in your Ford begins to fail, you may not even notice it. Part of the advanced design of the Ford alternator, when compared to the generator it replaced, is a system of redundant power generation. By harnessing the rotation of the engine through a belt connected to the crankshaft, both the generator and alternator perform the function of generating electricity to charge the battery and power the accessories within the vehicle, while it is running. Unlike the Ford alternator, the generator produces direct current, which is directly usable by the electronics in the vehicle. The downside to the generator is that it only produces enough current to power the accessories and charge the battery at high engine speeds.
 The Ford alternator, on the other hand, will charge the battery and provide power to the electronics even while the vehicle is at idle. It also has three separate circuits to produce power, which means that if one fails, the alternator will keep doing its job for a long time after. The only thing the driver may notice is a lessened ability to start in cold weather when the Ford alternator only partially fails. There is a large amount of demand placed on the remaining circuits, however, and it will soon be necessary to replace the entire unit.
