Car Electrical Repair Services

Modern vehicles rely heavily on complex electrical systems. Common issues include dead batteries, faulty alternators, malfunctioning starters, and blown fuses. These problems can lead to difficulties starting the vehicle, dimming lights, or complete electrical failures.

At Figure Automotive, we offer a comprehensive range of electrical repair services:

  • Diagnosing Electrical Issues to Locate Damaged Wiring
    Technicians use tools like multimeters to trace circuits and identify symptoms such as power loss or flickering lights, locating damaged wiring with precision. Accurate diagnosis prevents unnecessary repairs and ensures only affected wiring is repaired, restoring reliable performance.

  • Inspecting Wiring Harnesses for Wear, Corrosion, or Breaks
    Wiring harnesses are checked for wear, corrosion, or breaks that disrupt electrical flow. Identifying damage from heat, friction, or moisture helps prevent malfunctions, ensuring reliable power to all vehicle systems and reducing the risk of future issues.

  • Repairing or Replacing Damaged Wire Sections
    Damaged wires are either spliced, soldered, or replaced. Minor damage may be repaired, while severe issues require replacement of sections, ensuring restored functionality and reliable operation of all electrical components within the vehicle.

  • Ensuring Proper Insulation and Protection of Repaired Wires
    Repaired wires are insulated with heat-shrink tubing or electrical tape to prevent shorts and protect against environmental factors. Proper insulation ensures safe, reliable operation, reducing the likelihood of future damage from friction or exposure.

  • Testing the Electrical System for Proper Operation
    Post-repair testing verifies that all components are functioning as intended, ensuring the repair meets operational standards. This confirms that no residual issues remain, restoring the vehicle’s performance and safety.

  • Securing Wiring to Prevent Future Damage
    Securing wires with clips or brackets minimizes movement, reducing wear from friction or vibration. Properly secured wiring extends the repair’s durability and prevents future electrical issues.

  • Checking for Signs of Rodent Damage or Environmental Wear
    Technicians look for signs of rodent activity, like gnaw marks, and environmental damage, like moisture exposure. Early detection of these factors prevents potential wiring problems.

  • Providing Tips on Preventing Wiring Issues
    Technicians advise drivers on preventive measures, such as using rodent deterrents and monitoring for wear, helping maintain reliable vehicle performance.

  • Verifying the Functionality
    Final testing confirms the repair has fully restored electrical functionality, ensuring all components operate reliably and the vehicle is safe for use.
  • Identifying the Faulty Fuse or Relay Causing the Issue
    Technicians use testing tools to locate the specific fuse or relay causing the problem, ensuring accurate diagnosis and preventing unnecessary replacements of functioning parts.

  • Inspecting the Circuit for Underlying Problems
    Technicians check the entire circuit to detect any issues causing the fuse or relay failure, addressing root causes for a reliable repair that prevents repeated failures.

  • Replacing the Blown Fuse or Faulty Relay with the Correct Type
    The correct fuse or relay type is chosen to match the system’s needs, ensuring compatibility and preventing future electrical issues caused by using the wrong component.

  • Testing the Affected System to Ensure Functionality
    After replacement, the repaired system is tested to verify that it’s working correctly, confirming that the new fuse or relay has resolved the issue.

  • Checking for Signs of Electrical Shorts or Overloads
    Technicians inspect for shorts or overloads in the circuit, which can lead to blown fuses or relays, ensuring long-term stability and safety in the system.

  • Providing Guidance on Preventing Future Fuse or Relay Failures
    Drivers receive tips on avoiding overloads and recognizing early signs of electrical issues, helping prevent future failures and maintaining electrical reliability.

  • Ensuring Proper Seating of Fuses and Relays
    Technicians secure fuses and relays correctly, preventing loose connections that can cause intermittent electrical issues and ensuring consistent system operation.

  • Verifying the Integrity of Fuse Boxes and Relay Panels
    The fuse box and relay panel are checked for wear, corrosion, or damage, as issues in these areas can disrupt electrical flow or cause failures.

  • Educating the Owner on the Vehicle’s Fuse and Relay Layout
    Drivers are shown the layout and purpose of key fuses and relays, enabling them to recognize and respond to common electrical issues quickly.

  • Documenting the Repair for Service Records
    Technicians document the replacement, adding details to the service history, which assists with future diagnostics and helps track recurring electrical issues.
  • Reading Trouble Codes
    Computer diagnostics retrieve specific error codes from the car’s system, identifying electrical issues like faulty sensors or circuits. These codes guide technicians to the exact problem area, streamlining the repair process and preventing unnecessary inspections.

  • Real-Time Data Monitoring
    Technicians view real-time data, such as voltage levels and sensor activity, through the diagnostic system. This helps detect irregularities immediately, providing insights into whether components like the battery, alternator, or fuses are functioning properly.

  • System Health Checks
    Diagnostics assess the health of various systems, ensuring components like the engine control unit (ECU) and transmission are functioning without electrical interference. This full-system check identifies hidden issues before they escalate.

  • Component Activation Tests
    Diagnostic tools can activate components (like lights or wipers) directly, verifying they respond correctly to signals. This pinpoint testing confirms whether issues are due to faulty parts or wiring problems, speeding up repair accuracy.

  • Battery and Charging System Analysis
    Diagnostics test battery voltage, alternator output, and charging system performance. By analyzing these readings, technicians determine if electrical problems stem from charging issues or battery health, ensuring targeted repairs.

  • Data Logging for Recurring Issues
    Computer diagnostics log recurring issues over time, making it easier to identify patterns in electrical failures. Technicians use this history to pinpoint persistent problems and develop effective solutions.

  • Electrical Load Testing
    Diagnostics simulate electrical loads to measure how different systems respond under stress. This testing reveals weak components or circuits that could fail, helping prevent breakdowns under normal driving conditions.

  • Sensor Functionality Testing
    Technicians test sensors for accuracy and response, identifying faulty sensors that could disrupt vehicle performance. Accurate sensor readings ensure the car’s systems function smoothly and communicate effectively.

  • Firmware and Software Updates
    Some electrical issues stem from outdated software. Diagnostic tools allow technicians to update the car’s software or firmware, fixing bugs and improving overall system performance.

  • Clear Error Codes After Repairs
    Once repairs are completed, diagnostics clear error codes, resetting the system. This ensures that no false warnings remain and allows the car to monitor for any new issues accurately.
