FAQ
Why won’t my power windows or central locking work?
Power windows and central locking rely on electrical circuits, switches, relays, and actuators that can fail over time. Common causes include blown fuses, damaged wiring in door looms (especially where the door opens and closes), faulty switches, or issues with the central locking module itself. Moisture or corrosion in switches and connectors can also interrupt function. If multiple systems stop working at once, the issue may be in the fuse box or a shared control module. A qualified auto electrician can pinpoint the fault quickly using diagnostic tools.
How do I know if my ECU is faulty?
A failing ECU (Engine Control Unit) can cause a range of problems, such as poor fuel economy, misfires, starting issues, or dashboard warning lights. It may also log error codes that relate to unrelated or intermittent faults. In some cases, the car might enter limp mode or struggle to communicate with diagnostic scanners. ECU problems are often misdiagnosed, so it’s important to have the system properly tested before replacing it. Auto electricians use advanced diagnostics to check ECU function and rule out other causes first.
Is it safe to install aftermarket lighting or accessories myself?
Installing aftermarket gear yourself can be done safely if you understand vehicle wiring, fuse protection, and circuit loads. However, modern cars often use complex electrical systems that can be easily damaged if accessories are tapped in incorrectly. Poor installs can lead to faults, blown fuses, or even electrical fires. It’s especially important to use correct relays and avoid overloading existing circuits. If you're unsure or working with safety-critical components (like driving lights or brake systems), it's best to leave the job to a professional auto electrician.
