Electrical System – Keep Calm and Don’t Get Electrocuted

  • Inspect the Spark Plugs – The spark plugs are responsible for creating that “spark” and igniting the fuel-and-air mixture to start your engine. Hence any troubles with the plugs could result in weak performance from your car. So, inspect them regularly and replace if necessary.
  • Check the Battery – If your car has been giving startup issues, check the battery. If the battery is weak, you will notice a black color on the indicator, but if it’s healthy, you will see a green color.
  • Clean Battery Terminals – Dirty battery terminals make it difficult for the current to pass around the electrical system. So, remove the terminal caps and clean each contact with a wire brush.
