The relationship between the alternator and timing belt is primarily mechanical. Most alternators are driven by the engine through a serpentine belt, which is often shared with other components like the water pump and power steering pump. In some designs, the timing belt also controls the serpentine belt's motion, establishing a direct link between the two systems. If the timing belt fails, it can disrupt the entire operation of the engine, including the alternator's ability to generate power.
