The ignition and charging system is involved in regulating the electrical processes that get your vehicles engine up and running. The starting system components include the battery, a starter motor and a starter solenoid. The charging system consists of an alternator and a voltage regulator. The battery supplies the electric power that is required to start the vehicle while the charging system is responsible for routing energy throughout the entire electrical process in the vehicle.
All the components within your vehicles starting and charging system are necessary to ensure proper working order. If one thing is off then it can render the entire electrical process useless. Slow cranking engines, engines that crank non stop and dim headlights can point to a problem with your vehicles starting and charging system. If a jump start doesn’t get your car up and running than it’s time to bring your car into Final Stop to have it looked at by a mechanic.
