The 95-amp alternator is an electro-mechanical component. The alternator charges the batteries during engine
operation. A serpentine belt drives the alternator. The serpentine belt runs from the crankshaft pulley to the
alternator pulley, then to the A/C compressor, the belt tensioner, and then back to the crankshaft pulley. An external
fan, which mounts behind the alternator pulley, cools the alternator.
