electrical components of car

Jumping to conclusions here can be a serious waste of time and resources. By taking the time to inspect the problem before replacing the battery, our technicians make certain you are getting what you need to have the problem solved.

Different Electrical Components of Your Vehicle

Battery
  • Almost every driver understands that their vehicle will have difficulty starting, or outright refuse to start if the battery is faulty.
  • Problems here can range from a shorted wire to bad connection to the battery, or even a dead battery.
Sensors
  • A bad sensor often results in a check engine light.
  • Jumping straight to the emissions systems without first checking the sensor is a mistake that often returns to haunt the customer with a returning check engine light 50 miles after driving away.
  • Not only is this annoying, but it constitutes a failure on the part of the technician for due diligence.
Wiring
  • Working with the wiring of a vehicle can quickly turn into a nightmare if the technician is not experienced with the best practices of the job.
  • Usually, this means a great deal of painstaking troubleshooting and working through the possibilities before work begins.
Alternator
  • A failing alternator will not only kill your existing battery, but it will also drain any battery that it is attached to.
  • Making certain there is nothing wrong with the alternator when you discover a failing battery is important if you intend to fix the issue permanently.
