The electrical system that is on a car plays a large role in ensuring that everything is running efficiently. There are a number of different things in a car that will require a...
The job of the electronic spark control is to control the engine timing. This part can also be called the "knock sensor", as it monitors any unusual knocking, or vibration that...
Your vehicle depends on electricity in order to run, and this electricity can be traced back to the spark plugs which create a spark to ignite the fuel. It’s a whole...
So much of your vehicle relies on electronic components nowadays. They all work in conjunction with one another, so that means when one fails a domino effect takes place, and they...
With all of the danger on the roadways, finding a way to keep yourself and your car safe should be a concern. A car has a variety of different mechanisms that are...
The ignition switch is a darned good place to start. A 1995 car should be pretty straightforward electrically. There may be one or two power relays that could be suspect. The only way to tell for sure is a point...
I suspect your problem is in the power distribution box or in the connections going to it. Chrysler has a fancy name for it, they call it a TIPM for Totally Integrated Power Module. These modules have a lot of...
Hello, thank you for writing in. Several issues will cause faults with the bulbs. If the dim fog light and broken headlight are on the same side, this is a good indicator that there is an electrical wiring issue. Essentially,...
This problem sounds like you have electrical connection issues with the body control or engine control modules. You should first have computer system scanned for codes and then have connections disconnected from control modules and checked for connection issues and...
There might be a pigtail cable on the battery cable that has been damaged. The battery cables usually have one or two smaller gauge wires that come off of the cable to power up other circuits. You can look at...
If you are lucky, there may just be some damage to the alternator and/or some fusible links may have been blown. I know it's not much help now, but I strongly advise people NOT to jump start their cars of...
There are probably a few other devices that run off that same circuit. check your owner's manual and see what else there may be. If the fuse blows without you blowing the horn, then it is probably not the horn...
This kind of problem sounds like a loose or bad electrical connection to the dash cluster and radio. I would recommend starting and running the engine and go to wire harnesses you can get to under dash and engine compartment...
Thirty years ago, you could have done that and gotten away with it. with a 2012 truck, there is likely some damage. The multiple computer systems on your truck are very sensitive to voltage surges like the one you just...
You will need to have the charging system checked to see if the system is working properly. You may have electrical connection issues or component problems with the body control module and will need a mechanic like one from YourMechanic...
That's not an unusual thing to have happen, but it often means that the circuit in question has been overloaded for a while and the resulting heat has damaged the plastic that holds the little electrical contacts in place. somebody...
The water must of been high enough to short out electrical system. You will need to get car out of water and let it dry out with battery disconnected. Have battery recharged and then after a day of drying out...
The term "short circuit" is probably the most overused term in technology, but I think it might apply in your case. It sounds like there is some connection or device that is shorting you battery and charging system to ground...
The instrument cluster electrical connections can become loose or have small amounts of corrosion in the connections to the cluster and other modules. This condition may require disconnecting the cluster and other modules and cleaning connections and adding some approved...
This sounds like you have electrical connection issues with the dash or body control module. These vehicles are known to have electrical connection corrosion buildup that caused these erratic electrical problems including no starts and running issues. This problem will...
You may have shorted out a fuse that goes to the radio wiring to the body computer. Try to disconnect all radio wires except to speakers and see if systems start working again. You may have wired into the computer...
If you are adding a toggle panel and adding lights or other items you will need to be careful what you connect to in system or may damage electrical system. You will need to be more specific on what you...
Since you have already had vehicle worked on by a mechanic that could not fix the issue then i would suggest having a mechanic like one from yourMechanic come and check the problem and do a diagnosis to see if...
These kinds of electrical system failures are most likely from different electrical connections throughout the system getting small amounts of corrosion in the connectors and will require each affected system connector to be disconnected and a small amount of dielectric...
There is not enough information to go on to know if the aftermarket seat warmer caused a computer short. If you plugged into the power port and if system was overloaded then it should have just blown a fuse and...
