Find Replacement Nissan Electrical System Parts in West Simsbury, CT

What Does a Car Electrical System Do?

Your Nissan has a few key systems that let you get around West Simsbury at your convenience and leisure, and a lot of them depend on the electrical system to operate. If the electrical is absent, a lot of components such as your wipers, radio, headlights, and windows wouldn’t work — or your Nissan won’t even start! Functions like power steering, door locks, the instrument panel, and even anti-lock brakes also need electricity to perform their jobs.

Your Nissan's electrical system has three main components that allow it to provide power to your vehicle: the alternator, battery, and starter motor. When you start your ignition, the starter receives power from the battery, which in turn starts the engine. The alternator then helps charge the battery and powers your vehicle's other electronics while you drive. Seeing as how these three parts are at the center of your vehicle’s electrical system, start by checking them out if there seems to be an issue with your electrical system.

Purchase a New Starter for Your Nissan in West Simsbury, CT

The starter is a small electric motor that takes power from your battery and uses it to crank your engine. While starter motors are engineered to last, they can wear out or fail over time. A bad starter can have symptoms related to a bad battery, like a clicking noise or slow cranking. However, you may notice the engine refuses to start, the starter motor stays on after the engine starts, smoke comes from your car, or the starter is soaked in oil. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s likely time to replace your starter, so be sure to stop by your local West Simsbury dealership for comprehensive diagnostics.

Buy an OEM Nissan Alternator in West Simsbury, CT

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. The alternator is responsible for running essential components like headlights and windshield wipers, and creature comforts like heated seats. Typically alternators last the lifetime of the vehicle, but it may become damaged or get some wear and tear. 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, make an appointment at an authorized Nissan service center in West Simsbury, CT for an inspection and get a genuine replacement part from Nissan.
