Are you struggling to diagnose an electrical issue in one of your fleet trucks? If so, why not give Blackwater Diesel a call? We’re diagnostics experts, and have the diagnostic tools and processes to identify even the most frustrating electrical issues.
There are a wide array of electrical issues that may affect your ignition system. The most common issues, however, are by far a dead battery, a damaged alternator, faulty glow plugs, and damaged ignition cables. If your battery is dead, you may have a damaged alternator, or may simply just need a new battery. For those unaware, alternators use the power produced by your engine to charge your battery. If this alternator malfunctions, your battery will die and your truck won’t start. As your battery is responsible for moving power to your starter, glow plugs, and other important components, a damaged alternator can be detrimental to your fleet's productivity.

Wire damage can happen for a variety of reasons. If you’ve been in a collision, one of the wire harnesses in your fleet truck may get pinched, therefore damaging its inner wiring. If you have weatherproofing issues and your wiring is exposed to water, or for that matter, if you drive through deep water in a storm, your electrical systems may malfunction. Another common cause of wire damage is mouse and squirrel infestation. If your truck has been sitting outside for a prolonged period of time, small animals may decide to make a home in your truck and ruin much of your electrical system.
Are you having electrical problems that seem to come from nowhere? Sometimes symptoms may appear in a component other than the one that’s malfunctioning as most electronic components are connected by complex circuitry. This can make diagnosing the issue difficult. Fortunately, we here at Blackwater Diesel are diagnostics experts. We’ve seen it all! Call us today to book an appointment.
