Electrical System Repair

Electrical Problems? We Find the Fault.

Modern vehicles depend on complex electrical systems to control everything from starting and charging to engine management, lighting, sensors, modules, and accessories.

When an electrical problem occurs, replacing parts without finding the cause can become expensive quickly.

At Zavagli Auto LLC, we diagnose and repair automotive electrical problems on cars, trucks, SUVs, and diesel vehicles. From a no-start condition to an intermittent electrical fault that only happens once in a while, we use professional diagnostic equipment and hands-on testing to find the source of the problem.

Advanced Electrical Diagnostics

Electrical problems can be some of the hardest problems to diagnose because a vehicle may operate normally one moment and fail the next.

Our diagnostic process may include:

  • Electrical system diagnostics

  • Starting system diagnostics

  • Charging system diagnostics

  • Battery testing

  • Alternator testing

  • Starter testing

  • Voltage testing

  • Voltage-drop testing

  • Current-draw testing

  • Parasitic draw testing

  • Wiring diagnosis

  • Connector inspection

  • Ground circuit testing

  • Fuse and relay testing

  • Sensor circuit testing

  • Module communication diagnostics

  • Intermittent electrical fault diagnosis

  • No-start electrical diagnosis

Starting & Charging Systems

A vehicle that won't start doesn't necessarily have a bad battery.

We can diagnose problems involving the complete starting and charging system, including:

Batteries

Testing battery condition, voltage, and performance to determine whether the battery is actually causing the problem.

Alternators

Diagnosis of charging-system problems, low-voltage conditions, overcharging, and intermittent charging concerns.

Starters

Diagnosis of starter motors, starter circuits, solenoids, wiring, and related starting problems.

Charging System

Testing the complete charging system to determine why the vehicle may be losing voltage or failing to maintain proper system voltage.

Wiring & Electrical Repairs

Wiring problems can create some of the most frustrating vehicle issues.

Damaged wires, poor connections, corrosion, broken grounds, voltage loss, and intermittent connections can cause multiple symptoms or seemingly unrelated fault codes.

We can diagnose and repair problems involving:

  • Damaged wiring

  • Broken wires

  • Corroded connectors

  • Poor electrical connections

  • Ground problems

  • Power-supply problems

  • Fuse and relay circuits

  • Intermittent electrical faults

  • Sensor wiring

  • Component wiring

  • Charging-system wiring

  • Starting-system wiring

No-Start Diagnostics

When a vehicle won't start, replacing the battery or starter isn't always the answer.

A no-start condition can involve the battery, starter, fuel system, ignition system, wiring, sensors, security system, or engine-control system.

We diagnose the system to determine whether the vehicle has a:

Crank-No-Start Condition
The engine turns over but doesn't run.

No-Crank Condition
The engine doesn't turn over when the vehicle is commanded to start.

By testing the appropriate systems, we can narrow down where the failure is occurring.

Parasitic Battery Draw

Does your battery keep going dead even after being replaced?

A vehicle may have an electrical component that continues drawing power after the vehicle is shut down.

We can perform parasitic draw testing to help identify excessive electrical consumption and determine which circuit or component is responsible.

Intermittent Electrical Problems

Some electrical problems don't happen when you need them to.

A vehicle may:

  • Randomly lose power

  • Have gauges act strangely

  • Display intermittent warning messages

  • Randomly trigger fault codes

  • Lose communication with a module

  • Have lights flicker

  • Start normally one day and fail the next

  • Experience electrical problems after driving or getting hot

Intermittent problems require a different approach than simply reading a trouble code.

We use electrical testing, wiring inspection, scan-tool information, and system data to help track down faults that may not be present continuously.

Vehicle Electrical Diagnostics

Modern vehicles contain numerous computers and control modules that communicate with each other.

When communication or power problems occur, a single electrical issue can trigger multiple warning lights or seemingly unrelated fault codes.

Our diagnostics can include investigating:

  • Module communication faults

  • Sensor circuits

  • Power and ground circuits

  • CAN communication concerns

  • Electrical warning lights

  • Multiple system fault codes

  • Intermittent module faults

  • Wiring-related diagnostic trouble codes

Mobile When Possible. Shop When Necessary.

Many electrical diagnostics and repairs can be performed through our mobile service.

Mobile service can be especially useful when the vehicle won't start or cannot safely be driven to a repair facility.

More involved electrical repairs, extended diagnostics, and jobs requiring additional equipment can be handled at our shop.

Mobile Service
Electrical diagnostics and repairs at your location when the vehicle can safely be serviced on-site.

Shop Service
Advanced electrical diagnostics, wiring repairs, extended testing, and repairs requiring additional equipment.

We Don't Just Read the Code.

A diagnostic trouble code tells you where the vehicle detected a problem — it doesn't always tell you which part needs to be replaced.

A code for a sensor circuit, for example, can be caused by the sensor itself, wiring, power, ground, a connector, or another problem within the system.

At Zavagli Auto LLC, we use testing to determine what is actually causing the fault.

Test first. Replace parts when they're actually needed.
