Power Window Switch Replacement

The power window switch works much the same as any other switch in the car. When you press down on the window button, it completes the circuit. Once the switch is closed power goes to the window regulator to move the window up or down.

Fuse Replacement

Put simply a fuse is the weakest part of an electrical circuit, designed to fail first in the event of a surge in electrical power and before it can cause damage to the rest of the circuit. Vehicles often have fuses throughout, although a fuse box often contains the most important fuses, making them easy to check and/ or replace when required. Fuses are made at different strengths, based on their use, so it is important to replace a fuse with the same type and rating to ensure they continue to do their job.

When a fuse requires replacing, it's also important to note that it is a warning sign that something more significant is wrong with that component’s electrics.

Oil Pressure Sensor Replacement

The oil pressure sensor is one of the most important sensors in your car. If your engine is struggling to get oil then it’s something you want to know about as soon as possible. Your engine needs oil to function properly, if there’s an issue your oil pressure sensor will let you know so you don’t blow up your motor.

Battery Cable Replacement

Your battery cable has the simple job of connecting your car's battery to all the important electrical accessories. It is a thickly insulated wire, either connected to the ‘earth’ from the negative terminal, or to the accessories from the positive terminal.
