Automotive 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 engine and starts the vehicle. When a starter fails, it will affect the vehicle's ability to start.
5. Faulty Ignition Coils: Ignition coils convert low voltage from the battery into the high voltage that ignites the fuel mixture in the engine. Failed ignition coils can cause misfires, poor performance, and a check-engine light on the dashboard.
6. Electrical Short: An electrical short is when a damaged or worn wire makes contact with another wire or metal and causes a direct connection. An electrical short can cause fuses to blow or circuits to overload.

Diagnosing and repairing electrical problems in vehicles usually requires specialized equipment and knowledge. It is often best to consult with a qualified mechanic or automotive electrician when dealing with electrical issues to ensure proper diagnosis and repair.

Flooded Vehicles

Driving through high water can be devastating to your vehicle, it can damage electronics, engine, transmission, differential, and interior. Fixing the damage a flood has done to a vehicle can often be costly and very time consuming.  Wards Mobile Mechanic  recommends not attempting to start your vehicle until it has been assessed by a mechanic. When the electronics get wet it can cause them to short circuit. Water acts like a conductor and can cross your power and ground, it can short out computers (BCM, ECM, PCM), modules, electric motors (window, sunroof, electric seat, etc.), relays, starters, alternators, or your battery. In the event that your interior becomes wet it is not a good idea to let it stay wet very long, it can quickly mildew, rust the floorboards, and evaporating water can penetrate any surviving electronics or interior parts not already affected. Use a shop-vac to remove as much water as possible from the carpet, seats, door panels, center console, glove compart

Brakes

 If you are hearing a squeak or squeal it is most likely because your brake pads and/or brake shoes are worn down, as they are designed to do. This is the best time to get your brakes checked as at this time you probably only need new brake pads or shoes. If  you are hearing a loud grinding noise when you are braking you have warn your brake pads down to the metal backing of the pads or shoes and have probably started to grind into your brake rotors or drums. In most cases you will now have to replace your pads and rotors or shoes and drums. If you do not get it repaired now you will end up having to replace you calipers and/or wheel cylinders and bleed your brake system because after your metal backing wears down it will spit out the backing and start to stop your vehicle with the calipers pistons. or you will lose all of your brakes do to it pouring out all of your brake fluid from behind you calipers piston which is bad so give US a call or text and get a free quote before it's
