Find Replacement Nissan Electrical System Parts in Richmond, KY

What All Does an Electrical System Do in My Nissan?

Your Nissan has several systems that help you comfortably get from one side of Richmond to the other, and many of them rely on the electrical system to work properly. Without the 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 function on electricity.

The electrical system in your Nissan is made up of three parts 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 battery delivers a charge to the starter, which cranks the engine to start your vehicle. The alternator then helps charge the battery and supplies power to your electronics as you drive Richmond roads. Since these three components play such essential roles, start by checking them out if there seems to be an issue with your electrical system.

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.

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.

An alternator will typically last the life of the vehicle, but it may become 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 Richmond at your local Nissan service center for an inspection, and purchase a replacement part from Nissan.
