Your car’s electrical system includes a battery, a starter, and an alternator. When any of them malfunctions or fails, you will start to have all sorts of vehicle problems, from dimming headlights and blown fuses to smelling electrical odors and struggling to start your car. If you suspect your Hyundai Accent, Venue, or Elantra has electrical problems, get to your Hyundai dealer, and the qualified technicians will fix your vehicle’s electrical issues in a flash.
Your Brake Lights and Headlights Are Dim or Flicker
If your car’s brake lights and headlights are dim, various electrical issues, such as low voltage, a weak battery, loose wires, or a problem with the alternator belt, could be causing the issue. A voltage drop could affect your vehicle’s safety systems and prevent them from working correctly.
You Have Issues With Your Car’s Electrical Components
Your car’s components are all powered by electricity. If there’s a problem with the electrical system, you will have trouble with your car’s entertainment system, the heated seats, the electric windows, and your sunroof.
You Have Battery Problems
If you have electrical issues, it could be your car’s battery. A car battery is at the heart of the electrical system, and when the battery is weak, the cables are loose, there’s a bad cell, or there is corrosion around the terminals, you’ll have all sorts of electrical issues. Battery problems could also be due to a failing alternator. Ask your Hyundai technician to perform a battery inspection and test to determine if it’s time to replace the battery.
You Struggle With Blown Fuses
Blown fuses are a sign there’s an electrical issue and that something is drawing too much current, blowing the fuses. If you regularly have to replace fuses, ask your Hyundai technician to take a look and fix the issue.
It’s Hard To Start Your Car
The alternator charges the battery, and the battery provides the power to start the engine. A weak battery will make it hard to start your car, but it could also be due to a failing alternator not charging the battery properly. If you start your car and it stalls immediately, there’s a problem with the alternator not keeping the battery charged.
You Smell a Burning Plastic or Electrical Odor
The electrical system has a lot of wires, components, and fuses, and many are wrapped in plastic tubing for protection. Electrical issues can cause the plastic around the cables, or connections get hot enough to melt the plastic. This is a serious problem that needs attention from a qualified Hyundai technician.
If you experience any of these problems, don’t delay. Stop at Crain Hyundai of Little Rock today and ask a qualified Hyundai technician to repair the issue before it causes extensive damage to your vehicle.
