What Does a Car Electrical System Do?

Your Nissan has a few key systems that help you comfortably get from one side of Des Moines to the other, and a lot of them depend on the electrical system to operate. 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! Functions like power steering, door locks, the instrument panel, and even anti-lock brakes all depend on a steady stream of electricity to do their job.

The electrical system in your Nissan is made up of three parts that let it supply power to the engine and other components: the battery, starter motor, and alternator. When you start your ignition, the battery sends juice to the starter, which in turn starts the engine. The alternator is responsible for keeping your battery charged and powers your vehicle's other electronics while you drive. Considering the important role these three parts have, start by checking them out if there seems to be an issue with your electrical system.

Purchase a New Nissan Battery in Des Moines, IA

To start your Nissan’s engine, you need a battery, and a battery can’t perform this function if it doesn’t have sufficient voltage. The last thing you want is to find yourself stranded because your battery is too low on power to start your vehicle. Keep an eye out for signs you may need a new Nissan battery, including 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 Des Moines, IA for a complimentary battery inspection [1] if you’re concerned about your battery’s condition.

Get a New Nissan Starter in Des Moines, IA

Your starter is a small motor that receives power from your battery and uses it to start your engine. While starter motors are engineered to last, they may still fail or wear out over time. A bad starter can have symptoms related to a bad battery, 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. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s likely time to replace your starter, so be sure to stop by your local Des Moines dealership for comprehensive diagnostics.

Purchase a Genuine Replacement Alternator for Your Nissan in Des Moines, IA

Your starter and battery are in charge of firing up the engine, but the alternator makes sure your engine stays running while you idle or drive. A lot of key features on your vehicle rely on the alternator to run, like your wipers and headlights, and creature comforts like heated seats. An alternator will typically last the life of the vehicle, but it might get damaged or fall victim to wear and tear. Signs of a failing alternator include frequent stalling, dim lights, illuminated battery light on the dash, a burning rubber smell, slow or non-working accessories, and a weak or dead battery. If you think your alternator is on its way out, schedule a service appointment in Des Moines at your local Nissan service center for an inspection, and get a genuine replacement part from Nissan.
