About Me

Exploring Automotive Electrical Faults

Hello, my name is Miranda Strendart. My website is all about electrical problems found in cars, trucks and vans. My first brand new car developed electrical issues a few months after I made the purchase. Although the repairs were covered under warranty, I wanted to know all about the faults in the electrical system. I watched closely as the skilled technician replaced a number of sensors and wires. I learned about different ways techs pinpoint and diagnose vehicle problems. I want to share the knowledge I gained throughout that process. My site will feature information about faults and failures at the sensors, wires and other related components. I will also explore the various automotive components that run using electrical signals. Thanks.
