Buy Nissan Replacement Electrical System Parts in Alexandria, VA

What All Does an Electrical System Do in My Nissan?

There are several systems in your Nissan that help you comfortably get from one side of Alexandria to the other, and many of them rely on the electrical system to work properly. Without the electrical system, you may lose things like power windows and seats, the radio, windshield wipers, or your Nissan may not even turn on at all! 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 starter motor, the alternator, and the battery. When you start your ignition, the starter receives power from the battery, which causes the engine to turn over and start your car. 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, they're where you want to look first if you start experiencing electrical system problems.

Your starter is a small motor that receives power from your battery and uses it to crank your engine. Though starters are built to last quite a while, they can wear out or fail over time. A bad starter can have symptoms related to a bad battery, such as slow cranking or a clicking sound. With a bad starter, you may also notice symptoms such as oil on the starter motor, the car won’t start, smoke emitting from your vehicle, or the starter motor stays on after the engine has started. These signs could indicate it's time to replace your Nissan starter, so head into your local Nissan dealership in Alexandria for full diagnostics.

Get a Replacement OEM Nissan Alternator in Alexandria, VA

The engine may rely on the battery and starter to get the engine going, 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 other features like powered windows and heated seats. An alternator will typically last the life of the vehicle, but it might get damaged or fall victim to 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 think your alternator is on its way out, schedule an appointment at your local Alexandria, VA Nissan service center for an alternator inspection, and order a Nissan alternator replacement.
