Auto Electrical: an overview
Electrical problems can be frustrating because they are often intermittent. We trace faults methodically — testing circuits, connections and components — so we repair the cause rather than replacing parts until the problem goes away.
Problems we can help with
- Car won't start or cranks slowly
- Battery keeps going flat
- Battery or charging warning light
- Lights, windows or central locking not working
- Blown fuses
- Intermittent electrical faults
- Warning lights from a control unit (ECU) fault
- Damaged or rodent-chewed wiring
What we do
We test the battery, alternator and starter motor, check for parasitic drains that flatten the battery overnight, and trace wiring faults through connectors, fuses, relays and earth points.
We repair lighting, power windows, central locking and other body electrics, and explain what we found before any parts are replaced.
For faults involving the engine or other control units (ECUs), we read the fault codes and live data, then check the sensors, wiring and connectors feeding that unit — a damaged wire or poor connection is often the real cause rather than the control unit itself. Wiring repairs are made properly and protected, not taped over.

Auto Electrical: frequently asked questions
Why does my battery keep going flat?
It may be an old battery, a charging-system fault or something drawing power when the car is off. We test all three to find the cause.
How long does a car battery last?
It varies with the battery, the climate and how the car is used. Short trips and long periods parked shorten battery life. A quick test shows its condition.
