• Routine maintenance is a must if you want to keep your electrical system in tip-top shape and avoid unexpected breakdowns. A "load test" is a way to ensure that your vehicle's electrical system is producing enough power to keep all electrical components functioning.

• The alarm, ignition, signals, and lights are all powered by the battery. If you reside in a colder environment, you may need to change your battery more frequently than every three to five years.

• As a general rule, when starting your car, you should turn off as many electrical parts as possible (AC, radio, etc.) so that the starter doesn't have to exert too much effort. The starter is the part of your car that uses the most power and usually lasts a long time.

• Once the engine is running, the alternator becomes the primary source of electricity. The alternator is responsible for charging the battery and supplying power to the vehicle. Your car won't start if the alternator isn't up to the task of keeping the battery charged.

• We tend to put off dealing with electrical issues until the last minute. A vehicle's electrical system is crucial to its operation, therefore if there are any signs of trouble, it should be checked and rectified promptly.
