You may not realize it, but your vehicle has many features that depend on a properly working electrical system. Your power seats, power windows, headlights, and more are all a part of your electrical system. If these features aren’t performing as well as they used to, the electrical issues are somewhere in your car’s complex electrical system.
Spark Plugs and Wires
Spark plugs and wires may seem like small elements in terms of your vehicle, but they are responsible for making sure your engine gets the right amount of electricity. If they become corroded your engine won’t perform. If you notice that your engine isn’t accelerating, as usual, a decrease in fuel efficiency, or a rougher idle, it might be a sign that it is time for new spark plugs.
Failing Alternator
Your alternator is one of the most underrated parts of your vehicle. It actually has a pretty big job that includes charging your battery and powering your favorite features. It even stores extra energy so you can do things like start your car or roll your windows down when the engine is off. If your lights are dimming while you drive or your features are moving a little slower, your alternator may be to blame.
Blown or Broken Fuse
Much like the fuses in your home, the fuses in your car are designed to break o blow rather than overriding your entire electrical system when it tries to deliver too much energy. While you can easily perform a quick replacement, if the same fuse blows again soon after, it is a sign of more serious issues.

Battery Problems
Anytime you think of electrical power in your vehicle, you are likely to blame your battery. And most of the time your battery is actually to blame.
