Check lights regularly: Ensure headlights, brake lights, and indicators are functioning. Replace bulbs before they burn out to avoid unexpected failures.
Signs of Electrical Problems:
Dim o r flickering lights: This may indicate a problem with the alternator o r battery.
Difficulty starting: A weak battery o r faulty alternator can lead to starting problems.
Warning lights on the dashboard: Electrical issues often trigger warning lights related to the charging system o r battery.
