Problems starting the engine

* Weak or Missing Battery: Dim headlights, slow starter rotation, or no starting are serious signs.
* Faulty starter: The starter does not turn or turns slowly, making a clicking or whirring sound.
*Wiring Problems: Loose or damaged connections can cause power to the starter to be interrupted.
* Defective ignition switch: Difficulty turning the key or failure to start the engine.
* Fuel system problems: Insufficient fuel flow to the engine can cause the engine to fail to start.

Lighting problems

* Burnt out light bulbs: The most common lighting problem.
* Faulty fuses: Fuses protect electrical circuits from overloads, replacing them usually solves the problem.
* Defective Wiring: Loose, damaged or corroded wires can cause lighting problems.
* Faulty switches: Defective switches do not activate the lights or keep them on all the time.
*Generator problems: A faulty generator does not provide enough power to lights and other electrical components.

Electronics problems

* Low Battery: A weak or missing battery charge can cause electronics to malfunction.
*Damaged Wiring Harness: Loose, damaged or corroded wires can disrupt communication between electronic components.
* Faulty Sensors: Faulty sensors can send incorrect data to the Electronic Control Unit (ECU), resulting in performance or drivability problems.
*Central Control Module (CMU) Problems: The CMU controls various electronic systems in the vehicle and a malfunction can lead to numerous problems.
* Software incompatibility: Software updates or incorrect settings may cause electronics to malfunction.

Other problems

* Dead Battery: A dead battery affects all electrical components, including the engine, lights and electronics.
* Alternator Failure: A faulty alternator cannot charge the battery, resulting in gradual drainage.
* Relay Problems: A faulty relay can cause the associated electrical components to turn off or turn on permanently.
* Ground Loops: Poor grounding can create an electrical loop, leading to malfunctions.
*Power surges: Sudden changes in voltage can damage electrical components.
