Troubleshooting
Fuses and relays
* Check to see if the fuse associated with the faulty component has blown. Replace the fuse with a new one with the same rated current.
* Check if the relay that controls the component has failed. Replace the relay with a new one identical to the original one.
Wires and connections
* Check the wires for damage, breaks or shorts. Replace damaged wires.
* Check that all electrical connections are secure. Clean the contacts and tighten the nuts and bolts.
* Use wire ties to secure wires and prevent them from getting pinched or damaged.
Switches and buttons
* Check if the switch or button is stuck or worn. Clean or replace damaged components.
* Make sure the switch or button is properly connected to the wires.
Lamps
* Replace burnt out lamps.
* Check whether the lamps are installed correctly and whether the sockets are damaged.
Inspection and final assembly
* Reconnect the battery.
* Check if the problem has been resolved.
* Assemble all components and secure them in proper order.
Precautions
* Always disconnect the battery before performing electrical repairs.
* Protect your eyes when working with electrical components.
*Do not attempt to repair the electrical system unless you are familiar with it.
*If the problem is too complex or you cannot fix it yourself, contact a qualified auto electrician.
