FAQsFrequently Asked Questions

• How can I understand that an issue with my car is electrical?

  The most common indicators of an electrical malfunction are if the engine does not crank correctly, the headlights and taillights might not function properly, there are blown fuses, or there is a chemical smell like burning plastic.

• How much does car electrical work cost?

  The cost will, of course, vary based on the car, the amount of time required to perform the job, and the quantity of wiring. Because the car's components are not as compact as in the case of subsequent models, most older models might be relatively cheaper and simpler to repair.

• When I rev my engine, why do my headlights become brighter?

  When you crank the engine, the lights will become brighter, indicating that the alternator is providing some power, but not enough to keep the battery adequately charged when the vehicle is idle. If the lights are bright and do not change intensity while the engine is cranked, your electrical system is operating properly.

• My engine isn’t cranking properly when I press the ignition button. Why is this?

  To start, the engine requires electricity. The battery must generate the spark via a spark plug that burns the gas in your engine via the ignition switch. If your engine won't start, it could be due to faulty batteries, an alternator, or some other unrelated electrical issue.

• Why is there a burning plastic odour while driving?

  A short circuit occurs when a circuit is given more power than it can manage. This is a major car electrical issue that could cause serious harm to you and your car. Be sure to immediately address this if it should happen.

• My engine just died while I was driving. The car lights and radio are still working, so it isn’t a battery issue. What is wrong?

  It is most likely a problem with your ignition coil or other ignition components. They supply power to the spark plugs and boost the voltage of the energy provided to the spark plugs. A failure to do this might result in your engine dying on you.
