Electrical & Charging

When the truck won't start or won't charge.

The situation

Commercial trucks carry a lot more electrical load than a passenger vehicle — multiple battery banks, lift gate circuits, accessory loads, lighting that has to pass inspection. When something starts acting up, the fault is rarely where the symptom shows up. We test the system under real operating conditions and trace the actual cause before recommending parts.

What we cover

Alternator and starter replacement

Battery testing, replacement, and multi-battery setup

Charging system diagnosis

Wiring harness repair (chafed, shorted, corroded)

DOT lighting — marker, brake, turn, backup, ICC bar

Headlight and trailer lighting circuits

ABS and wheel-speed sensor faults

Fluid level, temperature, and fuel sender sensors

Fuse, relay, and circuit-protection diagnostics

Cab electrical — switches, gauges, instrumentation

Our Diagnostic Process

01

Diagnosis

We pull codes, load-test the battery and charging circuit, and scope the fault under operating conditions. Most electrical problems hide until the truck is loaded or running — we find them anyway.

02

Written estimate

Component, repair time, and parts cost — written down before any work starts.

03

Repair & verification

We replace or repair the fault, then verify the charging circuit and lighting under load. Photo updates throughout.

Frequently asked

01Can you diagnose intermittent electrical faults?

Yes. The fault has to be present to be caught — we test the system under load and monitor the circuit while we drive or run the truck through its operating cycle.

02Do you handle DOT lighting failures?

Yes. Marker, brake, turn, backup, and ICC bar lighting are all covered. If the truck came in on a DOT failure, the repair includes documented corrective work.

03Can you handle multi-battery setups on heavier trucks?

Yes. Dual and multi-battery configurations, parallel and series, including isolators and battery management on rigs with house loads.

04Do you do harness repair, or only replacement?

Both. Harness replacement is sometimes the right call on heavily corroded or chewed-up runs — but most damage is local, and a clean splice with proper sealing holds up. We pick the right fix per case and tell you why.
