Electrical CHARGING?

batteryWith today’s units on the road the electrical systems are more and more complex and vital to getting the performance you expect from your unit. However, the environment we operate in has not become any nicer. Calcium chloride is still our #1 problem in truck wiring systems. Bad connections and corroded wires create increased resistance in a circuit that at one time was not a big deal.  Today with multiplex and other systems resistance in a circuit is a major factor; as well as, proper voltage levels in maintaining proper operation. A major cause for performance complaints today is poor battery voltage; any voltages that drop below 11.2 in a system will create all sorts of fault codes. These codes will give all sorts of indications of many problems that in reality are one problem; low voltage, due to a bad battery, alternator, or just a loose or bad connection due to corrosion. This is one reason here at SOS we offer a spring wiring and electrical check-up to head off any potential problems before they leave you stranded. Call or stop by today and set up an appointment with the professionals at SOS to check out your electrical system.
