Your BMW X5's alternator is the power plant that transforms mechanical energy from the engine to electricity. It not only powers all of the vehicle's electrical components, but it also charges the battery while the engine is operating. When your X5's alternator fails, it might be risky to drive on the highway owing to the extremely high chance of failure. It will cause your headlights to fade, other auto electronics to fail, and you will have to jump-start your vehicle to get it started. The red battery warning light on the dashboard, electrical troubles, dim lights, sluggish cranking, dead battery, and stalled engine are the most frequent indications of a damaged alternator in a BMW X5.
If properly maintained, alternators will last around 7 years or between 80,000-150,000 miles. However, nothing is guaranteed, and components may fail.
A quick overview of alternator replacement:
- Disconnect the battery's negative lead.
- Depending on your model, you may need to remove additional engine components to get to the alternator.
- Unplug the alternator's electrical connections and bolts. Take it out.
- Check that the new alternator matches the old one and has a pulley. Install it and reinstall any previously removed components.
