Electrical System Repairs

Your car’s electrical system includes everything from the battery and alternator to complex modules and wiring that power your windows, lights, sensors, and more. At Dell’s, we use precision diagnostic tools and real-world experience to isolate and resolve electrical problems—so your vehicle stays reliable and ready to roll.

Signs You Might Need Electrical Repairs

When you think electrical, you might think of ‘shocking’ events, but that isn’t always what we mean when we tell you to look for electrical issues.

Dim or Flickering Headlights

If your headlights are dimming when you accelerate or flicker unpredictably, it could mean issues with your alternator, voltage regulator, or wiring.

Car Won’t Start or Randomly Dies

A dead battery might be the obvious culprit—but it could also be a failing starter, alternator, or hidden electrical drain. We’ll run tests to find the real issue.

Burning Smell or Blown Fuses

Smelling something hot or plastic-like inside your cabin? Replacing fuses frequently? Those are clear signs of overheating wires or short circuits. Don’t ignore them.

Dashboard Lights Acting Weird

If warning lights are flickering, lighting up for no reason, or behaving inconsistently, your electrical system might be misfiring or a control module could be going bad.

Power Accessories Not Working

If your windows, radio, seat heaters, or locks aren’t working properly, the issue could be with relays, wiring, or blown circuits. We’ll figure out what’s lost power and why.

Common FAQs On Electrical System Repairs

What causes electrical issues in a car?

It can be anything from corrosion and loose wires to failing components like batteries, alternators, or control modules. We use diagnostics and inspections to pinpoint the exact cause.

How long do car batteries last?

Typically 3–5 years, but extreme cold or frequent short trips can wear them out faster. If your battery is older and acting up, it’s worth having us test it.

Is it safe to drive with electrical issues?

It depends. Some issues—like a dead power window—might be inconvenient but safe. Others, like flickering lights or alternator problems, can be dangerous. If in doubt, get it checked.

Why do my lights dim when I start the car or use the heater?

This could be a weak battery or alternator that’s struggling to handle power demands. It’s a common early warning sign of charging system trouble.

Can electrical problems affect performance?

Yes. Sensors and modules that control engine timing, fuel delivery, and emissions are all electrically managed. If they’re malfunctioning, your performance (and mileage) can suffer.

How do you find electrical problems?

We use multimeters, diagnostic scanners, and good old-fashioned know-how to test circuits, read fault codes, and inspect wiring. Electrical issues are often hidden—but not from us.

What’s the cost of electrical repair?

It varies depending on what’s causing the issue. We’ll perform a thorough inspection and give you a clear, upfront estimate before starting any work.

Can you fix aftermarket electrical problems?

Yes! Whether it’s a stereo, remote starter, or lighting add-on that’s causing trouble, we’re experienced in diagnosing and repairing both factory and aftermarket systems.

Can a bad alternator drain my battery?

Yes. If your alternator isn’t charging the battery properly, your vehicle will rely solely on battery power—eventually draining it. A failing alternator can also cause flickering lights and electrical malfunctions.

Why does my car battery keep dying overnight?

This could be due to a “parasitic draw”—something in the car staying on (like a light or faulty module) when it shouldn’t. We can perform a parasitic draw test to pinpoint the culprit.

What are common signs of a failing starter?

If you hear a clicking sound when you turn the key or push the start button, or the engine cranks very slowly, your starter may be on its way out. Diagnostics will confirm the issue.

Can rodents really damage my electrical system?

Unfortunately, yes. Rodents sometimes chew through wires, especially in colder months when they seek warmth in engine bays. If you’re seeing strange electrical issues, this could be the cause.
