Electrical connector to car battery terminal can develop issues in many ways causing problems ranging from broken connector, corrosion, loose contact & dirt.

Electric cars are the cars of the future but in Africa, there are enormous challenges with the adoption and use of electric cars, the foremost being the lack of cheap and available power supply.

It's possible for radiator fan to spin in a wrong direction due to wrong placement or wiring connection. This can cause engine overheating & also waste energy.

Most sensors and actuators in cars are electrically powered. A loss of power or low voltage supply to these components can impede their function and throw the vehicle into limp mode.

The true health of a battery cannot be checked by simply measuring the terminal voltage. A resistive load is placed and the rate of discharge is monitored by watching the battery terminal voltage.

The testing of a fuse is one of the easiest diagnosis. It can be done by doing physical inspection, continuity test, by using a test lamp or by checking the voltage at both terminals of the fuse.

Car main battery fuse is a relatively high amp fuse that protects overall battery circuit. When it gets blown, it causes no crank or accessories not working.

Electrolysis causes corrosion in the cooling system of automobiles. Some of the causes include bad ground, degraded coolant and engine misfire.

PWM finds diverse use in automobiles especially in actuators, motor voltage and current control. PWM technique reduces power consumption & increases efficiency.
