How to tell if it's the Alternator or Starter

Generally an alternator will not prevent a car from starting.
There is no signal going to the starter from the key. Electrical issues take a lot of patience and the source of the issue isn’t always staring you in the face. Just one step at a time.

  1. My car for the last week or so has been slightly hesitant to start. The battery light has never come on. This began last week when I sat for quite awhile at the airport with the engine off and I did not have the radio on but I did have the ignition button pushed to keep my phone charging. I eventually wanted to get out and walk and when I pushed the ignition button to put up the windows, they were really slow and I said oh shit, then I tried to start it and it wouldn’t start. My battery is only about a year old and I got it checked and the indicator showed good battery. 🤷🏽‍♂️

  2. He just said generally a bad alternator won’t keep a car from starting. So then it’s the starter or fuses.
