Find Replacement Nissan Electrical System Parts in San Luis Obispo, CA

What All Does an Electrical System Do in My Nissan?

Your Nissan has several systems that let you get around San Luis Obispo at your convenience and leisure, and a lot of these systems rely on your vehicle’s electrical system to function. Without a working electrical system, a lot of components such as your wipers, radio, headlights, and windows wouldn’t work — or your Nissan won’t even start! The doors, power steering, anti-lock brakes, and instrument panel all depend on a steady stream of electricity to do their job.

There are three main parts to the electrical system that help it power your engine and electronics: the starter motor, the alternator, and the battery. When you turn the keys and start your Nissan, the starter receives power from the battery, which cranks the engine to start your vehicle. The alternator is responsible for keeping your battery charged and provides power to your Nissan’s electronics while you’re driving. Since these three components play such essential roles, you’ll want to check them out if you sense there’s a problem with your electrical system.

Purchase a New Nissan Battery in San Luis Obispo, CA

To start your Nissan’s engine, you need a battery, and your battery can't complete this important task if it doesn't have the right voltage. The last thing you want is to find yourself stranded because the battery can’t start the car. If it’s time for a new battery for your Nissan, you may notice symptoms like dimming headlights or interior lights, a clicking noise when attempting to start your Nissan, and slow engine starts. Browse and compare different batteries for your Nissan online, and head to your local Nissan service center in San Luis Obispo, CA to have your current battery inspected [1] if you’re concerned about your battery’s condition.

Purchase a New Starter for Your Nissan in San Luis Obispo, CA

The starter is a small electric motor that takes power from your battery and uses that power to start your engine. Even though starter motors are designed to last a while, they might wear out over time or eventually fail. Like a bad battery, a failing or bad starter may have symptoms like the engine is slow to crank or there’s a clicking sound when starting your Nissan. A bad starter, however, may also display symptoms like smoke coming from the car, your Nissan won’t start, the start motor stays on even when the engine is on, or there’s motor oil on the starter motor. It’s likely time to replace your Nissan’s starter if you notice any of these signs, so head into your local Nissan dealership in San Luis Obispo for full diagnostics.

Buy an OEM Nissan Alternator in San Luis Obispo, CA

The battery and starter might get your engine up and running, but your alternator is responsible for keeping the engine going once it’s started. The alternator is responsible for running essential components such as the lights and wipers, and other features like powered windows and heated seats. An alternator will typically last the life of the vehicle, but it might get damaged or wear out too soon. If your alternator is on its way out, you may notice things like a battery light on the dash, a consistently weak or dead battery, frequent stalling, dim lights, slow or unresponsive accessories, or a burning rubber smell. If you suspect issues with your alternator, schedule an appointment at your local San Luis Obispo, CA Nissan service center for an alternator inspection, and get a genuine replacement part from Nissan.
