As the rain pours down on Houston and our neighbors we continue to keep everyone in our thoughts. Torrential rains are continuing to displace people all over the area, people are losing everything they have ever known, homes, vehicles, clothing, pets, photographs, and in some cases their lives.  Wards Mobile Mechanic will continue to monitor the flood and roadway conditions and provide assistance to areas we can reach as the water levels here recede. Please do not drive in high water, if you don't know, don't go. There have already been reports of a person dying in a flooded vehicle. If you find yourself stuck in high water you can call one of five numbers for the Houston command center of the US Coast Guard if you're in danger and need rescue: 281-464-4851, 281-464-4852, 281-464-4853, 281-464-4854 and 281-464-4855. Stay Safe Houston.

Excessive Heats Effect On Automotive Batteries

Heat can have a significant effect on automotive batteries. Here are a few key points to consider: 1. Reduced Battery Life: High temperatures can accelerate the chemical reactions taking place inside a battery, ultimately leading to a shorter lifespan. Excessive heat can cause the internal components of the battery to deteriorate more quickly. 2. Increased Battery Self-Discharge: Heat can increase the rate of battery self-discharge, meaning that even when not in use, the battery loses its charge more rapidly. This can become a problem if the vehicle is left parked for extended periods. 3. Loss of Battery Capacity: Heat can cause the electrolyte within the battery to evaporate at a faster rate, resulting in a loss of battery capacity. This can significantly reduce the ability of the battery to deliver a consistent and strong electrical charge. 4. Difficulty in Starting: Extreme heat can make it more challenging for a battery to operate at its full potential. Consequently, starting a veh...

Service Lights (MIL)

Automotive service lights, also known as warning lights, malfunction indicator lights (MIL) or check-engine lights, indicate that there is a problem with a vehicle's system and that it requires attention. Service lights are usually located on the dashboard and are illuminated when there is a fault detected in the corresponding system. Different warning lights signify different issues in the vehicle. It is essential to understand what these warning lights mean for safe driving and vehicle maintenance. Here are some of the most common automotive service lights and their meanings: 1. Check Engine Light: This light indicates that a problem has been detected in the engine management system. The problem could range from a minor issue such as a loose gas cap to a more critical problem like a faulty oxygen sensor or catalytic converter. 2. Battery Warning Light: This light indicates that the battery is not getting charged. It could be due to a faulty alternator or loose wiring. 3. Oil Pres...

Electrical Problems

Automotive electrical problems can be challenging to diagnose and repair, and they can also be dangerous if not fixed correctly. Modern vehicles have complex electrical systems that power various components like lighting, ignition, and engine management. Electrical faults can cause a wide range of problems, including non-starting, poor performance, and loss of electrical systems. Here are some examples of automotive electrical problems: 1. Dead Battery: A dead battery is the most common electrical problem in vehicles. It occurs when the battery cannot hold or receive a charge. 2. Blown Fuses: Electrical circuits in vehicles use fuses to protect the system from overloading. When a circuit draws too much power, the fuse can blow, which can cause the affected system to stop working. 3. Failed Alternator: An alternator charges the battery and powers the electrical system. A failed alternator will cause the battery to lose power and eventually die. 4. Failed Starter: A starter cranks the en...
