Why it matters around Zion
Salt and slush get into connectors and grounds under the car, and corrosion is behind many of the intermittent electrical problems we find on vehicles driven year round in Zion and Kenosha County. Finding the bad connection is often a smaller repair than replacing the part it affects.
Questions and answers
Why do electrical problems come and go?
Intermittent faults are often a corroded connector, a loose ground or a broken wire that moves with heat and vibration. We test the circuit while the fault is happening when we can, so tell us when it shows up.
Is the battery light a battery problem?
Usually it means the charging system is not keeping up, often an alternator, belt or wiring issue. Have it tested soon, because the car can stall when the battery runs down.
Can you wire lights and accessories on a work van?
Yes. We install and repair accessory and upfit wiring on vans and light trucks, and we fuse and route it properly so it stays reliable.
