Some things to look for to know when it’s time to bring your car to Lowell’s for electrical repairs:
Warning Lights: When your car’s warning lights come on, it’s a sign that something is wrong with the electrical system. Common warning lights include the battery light, check engine light, and brake warning light. If any of these lights come on, it’s important to get your car to our mechanics as soon as possible to diagnose the problem.
Electrical Components Not Working: If you notice that some of the electrical components in your car are not working properly, such as the headlights, power windows, or radio, it may be a sign of an electrical issue. Check the fuses first to make sure they are not blown. If the fuses are okay, then it’s best to bring your car to a mechanic to diagnose the problem.
Battery Issues: If your car is having trouble starting or the battery is constantly dying, it could be a sign of a problem with the alternator or other components of the charging system. A mechanic can test the battery and charging system to identify the problem and make necessary repairs.
Burning Smell: If you notice a burning smell while driving or when you park your car, it could be a sign of an electrical issue. This could be caused by a short circuit or overheating wires. In this case, it’s best to bring your car to a mechanic right away to avoid any potential safety hazards.
Strange Noises: If you hear any unusual noises coming from your car, such as buzzing, clicking, or humming sounds, it could be a sign of an electrical problem. In some cases, it may be a loose wire or connection. However, it’s best to bring your car to a mechanic to diagnose the problem and prevent any potential safety hazards.
