 INTRODUCTION
Car electrical failures are one of the main reasons for
breakdowns that we see in our workshops. And the
proper functioning of the electrical system is vital
since the energy supply it needs depends on it. It also
intervenes in the ignition of the vehicle, in starting the
engine and in the supply of energy to elements such
as lights or air conditioning.
 Blown fuses
They are responsible for protecting the different electronic devices that allow the
vehicle to operate. They are also responsible for preventing the system from
overloading: if the current increases enough to damage the device, the fuse will blow,
interrupting the flow of electricity. In these cases, when they melt, it is always
advisable to replace them. To do this, it is useful to have a set of new fuses in the
vehicle.

For example, a case in our workshop is when the client tells us

that his car doesn’t start on gasoline, that is why we take the
pressure, if there is not one we will look in the fuse box where it
says system efi, it is very likely that it is damaged and won’t
work. came current.
 coil problems
The coils or induction coils of a vehicle have a component called a solenoid,
whose function can range from distributing electricity to the starter motor to
allowing the central locking to operate. A failure of these components can
easily be confused with a discharged battery or a faulty starter motor, since
the most obvious consequence is that the vehicle doesn't start or starts
poorly.

For example, a case in our workshop is when the client tells us

that his car doesn’t start, so we check if there is a spark, if there
isn’t spark, we will use a logic tip if it comes positive, if it isn’t a
matter of looking at the fuses and changing the one. It's
burned.
 battery discharge
The battery is one of the most important components, since it is what powers your vehicle.
It is also usually the component that fails most frequently, as the discharge can be caused
by many factors. For example, leaving the lights on, a poorly connected cable, a defective
component... In the event of a discharge, the most common thing is to recharge the
battery using clamps connected to another similar battery. Once the vehicle has started,
the alternator recharges the battery by moving the vehicle itself.

For example, a case in our workshop is when the client tells us that
his car turns off and doesn’t start, then an image of the battery
appears, in this we will use a multimeter, we select AC, we place it
in the battery when the car is on, yes It doesn’t go up more than
12v or more, meaning that it does not charge, and we must change
it.
 Defective alternator
The alternator is responsible for generating electricity while the car's
engine is running. It supplies energy to the battery and powers the
different electrical systems of the vehicle. If the alternator fails, it can
cause a series of electrical problems.

For example, a case in our workshop is when the client tells us

that his car turns off and does not turn on, so an image of the
battery appears, in this we will use a multimeter, we select it at
AC 20, then it tells us that it is not cracking and it is necessary to
change it.
