🔋 Electrical — Battery, Alternator, Starter
Battery starts, alternator powers while driving, starter cranks engine. One weak link = no-start.
Quick diagnosis
- Rapid clicks = dead battery
- One loud click = starter
- Battery light while driving = alternator
- Parasitic drain? Trunk light, dashcam
Make it last
- Clean corrosion with baking soda
- Short trips kill batteries — drive 20min+
- Test free at auto stores each fall
- Keep terminals tight
