Electrical System Repair - Truck / Fleet

Depending on the type of truck you use to get the job done, there can be a huge amount of complexity in the electrical system. Not only does your rig have computerized engine controls for idle speed, gear shifting and the like, you may also have hydraulic pump controls, extra safety lighting, trailer connections, and more.

Making sure your fleet of vehicles have functioning electrical systems not only ensures the safety of your drivers and those around them, it also helps you present your best face to the world. A commercial vehicle is a moving billboard, and you want to make sure your billboard is properly lit up. Let the experts at Red’s Garage help you light up profits!

A diesel engine requires a great deal of cranking power to get going, which means you need a powerful battery. The battery of your truck not only provides necessary electrical storage, it also works to deliver a smooth electricity flow throughout the electrical system. If you suspect your battery is approaching old age, give the diagnostics team at Red’s Garage the go-ahead to give it a much-needed checkup. A cold winter morning is a bad time to find out that the battery in your plow truck is dead!

When you turn the key to get your rig up and running in the morning, the starter is the heavy lifter. With the help of a jolt of electricity from the battery, the starter cranks the internal components of the engine to life. A faulty starter means your truck doesn’t get running, which means the job doesn’t get done. Red’s Garage can make sure your starter is in top shape so you and your crew can get to work.

The alternator takes the mechanical motion of the engine and converts that kinetic energy into electricity. It then feeds that electricity back to the battery, ensuring the continued operation of your truck. When the alternator stops working, so does your vehicle. Keeping your alternator up and running is a crucial aspect of fleet maintenance, and one that Red’s Garage has fully covered!

The engine controls system in your truck is a highly technical and complex computerized system which regulates, among other things, engine performance, throttle control, and emission limits. Using a labyrinth of wiring, sensors, and control boards, this system keeps your vehicle running smoothly and within regulations.

Large work vehicles have large lighting loads, and it is imperative the lighting system is always functioning properly.
