Introduction:

Automotive electrical faults can be frustrating and costly. In this post, we’ll explore common issues and how to diagnose them

Dead Battery:

Symptoms: Car won’t start, clicking noises.
Possible Causes: Faulty alternator, worn-out battery.
Diagnosis: Use connectors and a multimeter to check voltage and alternator performance. Keep auto electrical supplies like spare fuses handy.

Blown Fuses:

Symptoms: Lights, radio, or windows not working.
Possible Causes: Overloaded circuit, faulty component.
Diagnosis: Use connectors and a fuse tester to identify blown fuses.

Faulty Alternator:

Symptoms: Dimming lights, strange smells, dead battery.
Possible Causes: Worn-out brushes, damaged diode or stator.
Diagnosis: Test alternator output with connectors and a multimeter. Consider having replacement alternators

Malfunctioning Starter:

Symptoms: Engine won’t crank, clicking sound.
Possible Causes: Worn-out solenoid, damaged starter motor or ignition switch.
Diagnosis: Check voltage at starter terminals using connectors.

Faulty Spark Plugs and Ignition System:

Symptoms: Rough idling, poor acceleration.
Possible Causes: Worn-out spark plugs, damaged coils or wires.
Diagnosis: Use connectors and an ignition tester to check.

Wiring Issues:

Symptoms: Components not working, intermittent problems.
Possible Causes: Damaged wires, loose Automotive Connectors.
Diagnosis: Inspect wiring with connectors and a multimeter. Keep wire crimpers and connectors in your auto electrical supplies.

Bad Sensors:

Symptoms: Check Engine Light (CEL) on, reduced performance.
Possible Causes: Malfunctioning sensors.
Diagnosis: Use connectors and an OBD-II scanner. Consider keeping replacement sensors
