Sudden electrical problems with your vehicle can be a cause for concern, especially if you notice the check engine light is on, your headlight bulb has blown out, a light inside your vehicle stops working, or you’re having trouble with your vehicle’s power locks or windows.

- Lights not working inside vehicle
- Power window problems
- Power locks not working
- Radio isn’t working
Any of the symptoms listed above can indicate an electrical problem in your vehicle. As soon as you notice anything strange with an electrical component, don’t hesitate to bring your vehicle to the experts at our Rockville
auto electrical repair shop. We have the latest tools and diagnostic technology to accurately diagnose and repair the issue.
Check Engine Light
If the check engine light has turned on, your vehicle is telling you that there is a problem with a major component in your vehicle. When an issue occurs, a signal from a sensor will be sent to your car’s main computer system to signal that something isn’t right. Our shop has state-of-the-art code readers to determine the source of the signal. Once we figure out the source of the problem, we can look at that system and take a look to determine what is causing the problem.
Dead Battery
A dead battery can also indicate a problem with an electrical component. Batteries usually last around 4 years depending on the brand of battery and how well you maintain your vehicle. If the battery is still in fairly good condition, the problem could be from a faulty alternator or starter. If you can jump start your vehicle, it is still important to stop by our shop so that we can make sure there isn’t another underlying problem that is causing your battery to die quickly.
Faulty Power Locks / Windows
Faulty power locks and power windows can also indicate an electrical issue, usually stemming from a blown fuse. We will check the relay system that gives power to your vehicle’s power locks and repair any faulty components.
