Electricity enables your engine to start, keeps your car’s computer working, and even enables your windshield wipers to work. Over time electrical problems can develop for a variety of reasons, including worn terminals, rusted grounding connections, and blown fuses. As your Hyundai dealer, we can fix any of these problems for you. These are some of the issues that we can repair.
Grounding Problems
Grounding is important for any electricity currant, as it provides a safe way to remove stray voltage from the system. A lack of grounding can lead to power surges or damage to electrical systems. The grounding in your car starts from the negative terminal in the battery and then flows through the body of your car, the engine, and the transmission.
A grounding problem can develop in numerous ways, including a rusted washer or a slightly loose connection. This type of problem will become obvious due to random problems in the electrical system. Our technicians can easily trace the grounding problem by following the flow of electricity through your car. Once we’ve identified the source of the grounding issue, we can resolve it.
Blown Fuses
All electrical systems have fuses, and these fuses help to protect the component they’re attached to from power spikes and surges. If a power surge occurs, the electric current will strike the fuse first, which causes the fuse to blow. A blown fuse will prevent electricity from passing through to the component, but it will also switch off that component until the fuse is replaced.
Blown fuses can range from a minor issue like the radio refusing to switch on to an alternator failure that prevents the battery from charging. Fuses are easy to replace, and the component they’re connected to will work again. We’ll test your fuses to identify the blown ones and replace them.
Dead Battery
When most drivers think of an electrical problem, battery issues are usually top of the list. The battery is responsible for providing the electrical charge that starts your car. If your battery fails, the only way to start your car is to replace the battery or jump-start it as a temporary solution. A battery can fail due to age, but it can also fail due to a damaged alternator, loose connections, or other electrical issues.
We can test the connections to the battery, and often a loose battery cable can be the cause of the problem. If the battery itself is damaged, we can speedily install a new one to fix this problem.
