  • Electrical Diagnostics: Your vehicle’s electrical components rely on the battery, alternator, fuses, and wiring to operate. If any one of these systems should fail, it may be difficult to pinpoint the source issue. We’ll run an electrical diagnostic on your car to determine the problem, so that we can get to work fixing it.
  • Fans: Your vehicles fans should cool the radiator and engine while providing climate-controlled air to the cab of your vehicle. Without working fans, your vehicle is liable to overheat, or your car ride may be uncomfortable. Count on us to ensure that the wiring, motor, and sensors for your fans are operating as they should.
  • Fuel Injections & Pumps: A bad fuel injector or pump will cause noticeable issues, and it can damage your vehicle over time. If your car isn’t idling properly, then it’s likely that you have a fuel injector or pump problem. Bring your vehicle into the shop if you experience shuttering and instability from the engine while the vehicle should be idling — you may have an electrical problem with your fuel supply system.
  • Terminals: Your vehicle’s terminals connect electrical systems to one another and their power sources, making it possible to install and replace various components with greater ease. However, these terminals are liable to fail, which can make any electrical system inoperable. We can run diagnostics to check for issues with your vehicle’s terminals and wiring.
  • Overdrives: If your vehicle isn’t switching into overdrive, you’ll lose some efficiency at higher speeds. If you have a failed overdrive solenoid or another problem requiring diagnosis, we’d be happy to take a look under the hood.
  • Power Accessories: From lights to outlets to displays, nowadays vehicles are packed with accessories. And these gadgets are liable to fail due to an electrical problem. If you have a power accessory that won’t turn on or stay on, we can locate the issue at hand.
  • Pumps: From the fuel pump to the water pump to the windshield washer pump, your vehicle is outfitted with a variety of pumps that are liable to fail. Keep an eye out for overheating (which may indicate that your water pump has failed), or poor engine performance (which may indicate that your fuel pump has failed). And of course, if your windshield fluid isn’t spraying onto your windshield, yet the reservoir is full, then it’s likely that the pump is to blame. We can fix whatever pump problem you have.
  • Regulators: Your vehicle’s regulator restricts the voltage output from the alternator, so that your battery and electrical components don’t endure damaging surges. However, a faulty regulator can further choke the voltage supply to the rest of your vehicle. If you experience dim gauges on your dash, meter malfunctions, and other electrical issues.
  • Rewiring: If you have wires that have failed, we can rewire your systems to ensure that they’re operable again.
  • Seats: These days, most modern vehicles have electrical seats which enable the driver (and often the passenger in the passenger seat) to move their seats without those cumbersome levers. In addition, you may have seats with heating or cooling to provide added comfort. And unfortunately, all of these extras can fail with faulty electronics.
  • Short Circuits: Short circuits can occur when wires get crossed. This creates a power surge which can damage an electrical component as well as the source of electricity (your battery and alternator). If a system has short circuited, your electrical components can overheat quickly, and may even catch on fire, before a total failure occurs. We can locate and repair any short circuit issues throughout the electrical components of your vehicle.
  • Stereos and Speakers: Driving just isn’t the same without music. When your stereo cuts out or your speakers fail (which may be an electrical problem or a blown speaker), we can repair the electrical components, or, if necessary, replace your stereo and/or speakers.
  • Sunroofs: It can be infuriating if your sunroof doesn’t work, especially if it’s stuck open (or halfway open)! We can fix or replace your sunroof motor or rewire the system, if necessary.

Because every vehicle make, model, and mileage varies, no two electrical issues are likely to be addressed in the same way. Thompson Automotive takes a holistic, “total car” approach to addressing the precise electrical problem, knowing exactly what to look for in vehicles that are at the 10,000-mile, 50,000-mile, or even 200,000-mile mark.

Some automotive service providers cannot work on newer-model vehicles due to the sophistication of the electrical system. At Thompson Automotive, this is never a concern. Just tell us the year, make and model of your vehicle and what appears to be wrong and we’ll do the rest.
