Find Replacement Nissan Electrical System Parts in Downers Grove, IL

What Does a Car Electrical System Do?

There are several systems in your Nissan that let you get around Downers Grove at your convenience and leisure, and a lot of them depend on the electrical system to operate. Without a working electrical system, you wouldn't be able to listen to your favorite songs on the radio, turn on your headlights, activate your windshield wipers, adjust your windows, or even start your Nissan! Functions like power steering, door locks, the instrument panel, and even anti-lock brakes also need electricity to perform their jobs.

The electrical system in your Nissan is made up of three parts that help it power your engine and electronics: the alternator, battery, and starter motor. When you start your ignition, the battery delivers a charge to the starter, 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 Downers Grove, IL

Your battery is essential in order to start your engine, and your battery can't complete this important task if it doesn't have the right voltage. You wouldn’t want to get stuck at your home or office because your battery doesn't have the power needed to start the engine. Signs that it’s time for a new battery for your Nissan can include a clicking noise when trying to start the engine, dimming headlights or interior lights, or the engine is slow to start. Browse and compare different batteries for your Nissan online, and head to your local Nissan service center in Downers Grove, IL to have your current battery inspected [1] if you have any concerns about the condition of your battery.

Get a New Starter in Downers Grove, IL for Your Nissan

The starter in your vehicle is a small motor that takes battery power and uses it to crank your engine. While starter motors are engineered to last, they may still fail or wear out over time. Like a bad battery, a failing or bad starter may have symptoms such as slow cranking or a clicking sound. 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 be sure to stop by your local Downers Grove dealership for comprehensive diagnostics.

Purchase a Genuine Replacement Alternator for Your Nissan in Downers Grove, IL

Your starter and battery are in charge of firing up the engine, but the alternator is what keeps the electronics going while you drive or idle. The alternator is responsible for running essential components such as the lights and wipers, and creature comforts like heated seats. Typically alternators last the lifetime of the vehicle, but it might get damaged or get some wear and tear. 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 a service appointment in Downers Grove at your local Nissan service center for an inspection, and order a Nissan alternator replacement.
