There are a lot of moving parts that make an automobile work. If one thing is out of whack, it can have a domino effect that will render the vehicle effectively useless. At Classic Kia in Waukegan, IL we know that one of the most intricate systems a car has is its electrical system.

With the proliferation of on-board computers, a cars electrical system is more complicated than ever. However, at the most basic level, if there’s a problem with the electrical system, the vehicle may not even start.

There are a few things you’ll want to look out for that may be signs to bring your car into our Kia dealership service center for electrical work. Perhaps the most obvious would be that your car won’t start. When you turn the key you may hear clicking or grinding noises, or nothing at all may happen. If your car does start, you may notice that your dashboard lights be dimmer of flickering, this too is an indicator that there might be a problem with your connection.

If your battery appears to be in a state of disrepair, it’s probably time to get a new one from our quality Gurnee Kia auto parts department.

There’s far more to a car’s electrical system than just a battery, however. It encompasses obvious things like on-board computers, headlights, and sensors, as well as vital components such as the starter and the alternator.

With all these connections, a seemingly small problem can turn into a much bigger one fairly quickly. It’s best to bring your vehicle here to us at Classic Kia at the first sign of trouble. Our trained service team will diagnose the problem and get you back on the road before you know it!
