Description

This set enhances system responsiveness and durability, offering a precise and consistent user experience.

Key Features & Benefits

These buttons, sometimes called brushes or carbon brushes, actually make the electrical connection that allows the alternator to charge your battery and run your electrical system. They're small, usually made of carbon, and they literally press against the rotating parts inside the alternator to transfer electricity. They don’t really “button” anything in the traditional sense, it’s more of an older term from how they work. Think of your alternator as the engine that keeps your battery full while you’re driving. The button set is a key part of that. Without a good connection from these buttons, the alternator can't do its job. It’s located inside the alternator itself, so you don't see it directly when you’re looking at the engine. It’s a small piece, but a really vital one.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

These buttons wear down over time, just from the constant friction. You’ll notice if they start to fail – your battery light might come on, your charging system won't work correctly, and eventually, you might end up stranded. Replacing them is a lot cheaper and easier than replacing the whole alternator. You can find these button sets pretty easily – we stock a good range here, and you can also often find what you need at places like Fixparts Online. It's a simple repair that can save you a headache down the road.
