What to Know about Electrical Repair
Even though your traditionally powered automobile requires gasoline or diesel fuel for operation, electrical power is still needed. Multiple components comprise the system that generates, stores, and distributes this power. If one of them becomes weak or fails, your vehicle will not function properly or may not start at all. Our team is happy to provide you with the information you need to recognize your car’s possible need for electrical repair. First, let’s review the major components. Your auto’s battery stores electrical energy to turn the engine over and power some extra features. The alternator charges it while your vehicle is running. The alternator also powers the engine after start-up. The starter motor is also necessary to crank your transportation. To achieve combustion and produce power, the engine relies on electrical power. Ignition coils give electricity to the spark plugs. These plugs, in turn, provide the spark needed for ignition of the fuel-air mixture. Electrical wires carry electrical current where needed, and fuses are available to connect the circuit or break it in case of trouble that might cause immediate damage. Finally, the engine control module functions like a brain, sending messages for adjustments that impact performance. This, too, is electrically based. Next, let’s list some indicators that alert you to a possible electrical problem in your vehicle. The most obvious, of course, is when your car won’t start. Also, while there may be many underlying causes, the check engine light can signal an electrical issue. Burning smells or flickering/dimming lights should also prompt you to see us immediately. Likewise, an illuminated dashboard battery light and the appearance of corrosion or leaking fluid near the battery are causes for concern. You may also notice improper functions of accessories such as power windows. Regardless of how the problem manifests, you can always count on Roger’s Tire Pros & Auto Care for electrical repair.
