I Have to Keep Replacing the Fuses in My Automobile

If you have to keep replacing the fuses in your automobile, this is a sign that the electrical system is being overloaded. Unfortunately, this can happen if the alternator is malfunctioning. Generally, the alternator produces voltage up to 14.5 volts. If it is producing more than this, it will overload the electrical system and trip the fuses in the fuse box.

Hot Electricity

In addition, you will smell hot electricity in your automobile. This smell can come from the engine or from the interior of the vehicle. Hot electricity can be dangerous because it can start an electrical fire. Unfortunately, if your electrical system is being overloaded, your vehicle has an electrical problem that needs immediate attention. This is just one thing that can go wrong.

Battery Problems

You may also have battery problems if there is a drain in the electrical system that pulls the charge from the battery. Consequently, your engine may refuse to start every time you try to start it until you jump-start the battery. This is not normal, and we can repair the problem in our shop. We can find the electrical drain and fix it so your battery retains its charge.

Accessory Problems

Another sign that your vehicle has an electrical problem is accessory problems. The two go hand-in-hand because the electrical system powers your vehicle's power accessories. For example, imagine you input an address into your navigation system and start to drive. Suddenly, the navigation system turns off and will turn back on. This could be caused by an electrical problem.

Light Problems

Light problems can also be caused by an electrical problem. In this case, your lights may be too dim or too bright. If the electrical system is having problems producing electricity, the lights will not be bright enough. If the electrical system is overproducing electricity, as discussed above, the lights will be brighter than they normally are. Either situation is a problem.

Dashboard Warning

Finally, the battery light on your vehicle's dashboard is designed to eliminate if there is a problem with the battery. Thankfully, this light also covers problems with the electrical system, including the alternator.
