Electrical Repair Components

When we are looking for automotive electrical issues we have an extensive list of vehicle components that we can examine and offer service for:Toggle All

• Alternators
  The wet salty climate in Victoria can be a real test for water seals on automotive alternators and regulator modules.
• Batteries
  Corrosion on automotive battery terminals and idle drain problems are frequent issues that local residents need assistance with. We have trained technicians, professional equipment, and the correct supplies to resolve most automotive battery issues properly.
• Brake Lamps
  The local rain and humidity means that faulty seals on lenses can lead to premature bulb failure in automotive lights. Brakes in particular are a safety issue that drivers need to check and correct regularly.
• Cigarette Lighter
  Keeping the contacts in the 12v power sockets free of corrosion and wear could be tricky if your vehicle sits outside a lot, sees a lot of use, or is aging. Our automotive electrical technicians can service or replace the cigarette lighter sockets in most cars and trucks, including running heavier gauge wire back to a fused power distribution block to give power hungry drivers more options.
• Computer Systems
  Is your vehicle showing a CEL or Check Engine diagnostic light? We can pull and/or clear codes from most automotive computer systems using our diagnostic tools. We can help drivers understand what these errors mean and provide any needed maintenance or repairs.
• Cruise Control
  For some island residents long commutes are a way of life, and a faulty cruise control system could be a serious ongoing hassle. Our technicians have the needed experience to quickly diagnose and locate faulty components, big or small, that may be keeping your cruise control from working properly.
• Door Locks
  Corrosion and rust in your door lock mechanism can start off with sticking or a sensation of drag when manually unlocking the car door but this can quickly escalate to a lock failure even with electronic door locks. If one or more of your door locks is failing to work reliably, there is a chance the mechanisms are overdue for inspection and maintenance.
• Electrical Shorts
  Customers noticing an electrical short should bring their car into the nearest mechanic ASAP, keeping the car battery disconnected unless needed.
• Engine Temperature
  A working engine temperature display is a vital component of your vehicle health and monitoring. Our team is here to troubleshoot issues with engine temperature displays or temp warning lights in your vehicle.
• Fuel Gauge Repair
  While some drivers ignore faulty fuel gauges, knowing how much distance is left in your vehicle’s fuel tank could be the difference between making the ferry and getting stranded in Sidney.
• Fuel Injection
  A faulty or misfiring injector may show up as an error code during our ECU diagnostics but our local team of professional technicians have the experience and equipment to find fuel injection issues.
• Fuse Replacement
  Replacing automotive fuses is a task best tackled by someone with the right automotive electrical diagnostic tools to quickly determine if the fuse blew due to the environment or a high load condition. Fixing the source of a blown fuse could save drivers further money and hassle.
• Gauge Flashers
  Especially on older cars, the dash electrical system can be packed with bulbs that require replacement as they wear out. These components can require special tools to disassemble without damaging or scratching the dash cluster, but the team at Affordable Auto Repair have you covered.
• Headlamps
  Some older vehicles do not warn you when your headlights are not working, or have a warning system that is problematic when the headlight switch fails. Our professional automotive electrical technicians can diagnose a wide range of headlight issues and we even carry common brands of headlight bulbs.
• Horn Repair
  Vehicle horns are not just a normal automotive safety component, with our steep narrow roads and foggy weather, especially on the Malahat, being heard could be considered essential. Even if your horn works, but you want to upgrade, it makes sense to come to local automotive electrical technicians who have experience matching relays, upgrading wire runs, and installing components in a manner that will stand up to the local weather.
• Ignition
  Electrical faults with your vehicle ignition system can instantly leave a driver stranded in a location where they cannot easily park. Any signs of ignition problems should be looked at ASAP by one of our professional automotive electrical technicians.
• Ignition Switch Repair
  Older cars were especially prone to wear in the ignition tumbler, especially when a driver has a lot of swinging weight attached via a keyring. Using a vehicle ignition key as a scraper/climbing tool/etc., can also lead to premature replacement of your ignition switch.
