Find Replacement Nissan Electrical System Parts in Santa Clara, CA

What Does a Car Electrical System Do?

Your Nissan has a few key systems that help you comfortably get from one side of Santa Clara to the other, 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! Things like door locks, the instrument panel, anti-lock brakes, and even power steering also need electricity to perform their jobs.

There are three main parts to the electrical system that let it supply power to the engine and other components: 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. Seeing as how these three parts are at the center of your vehicle’s electrical system, you’ll want to check them out if you sense there’s a problem with your electrical system.

Get a New Starter in Santa Clara, CA for Your Nissan

The starter is a small electric motor that takes power from your battery and uses it 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 a clicking noise or slow cranking. 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. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s likely time to replace your starter, so stop by your Santa Clara Nissan dealership for a full checkup.

Buy an OEM Nissan Alternator in Santa Clara, CA

The battery and starter might get your engine up and running, but the alternator is what keeps the electronics going while you drive or idle. A lot of key features on your vehicle rely on the alternator to run, such as the lights and wipers, and other features like powered windows and heated seats. You can usually expect the alternator to last the life of your vehicle, but your alternator might incur damage or wear out too soon. A bad alternator may display symptoms 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 a service appointment in Santa Clara at your local Nissan service center for an inspection, and purchase a replacement part from Nissan.
