At Gibbon Tire and Auto in Charlotte, NC, we recognize the electrical system's pivotal role in the modern vehicle. From powering essential components to ensuring safety features operate as they should, your vehicle's electrical system is the lifeline of your driving experience.

Your vehicle's electrical system is a complex network of wires, circuits, fuses, relays, and electronic components designed to power, control, and monitor various systems and functions. These include:

• Starting System: Responsible for initiating the engine's combustion process, the starting system comprises the battery, starter motor, and ignition switch.
• Charging System: The charging system, consisting of the alternator and voltage regulator, replenishes the battery's charge and supplies power to electrical components when the engine is running.
• Lighting System: Illuminating your path and signaling your intentions, the lighting system includes headlights, taillights, brake lights, turn signals, and interior lights.
• Accessory Systems: From power windows and door locks to infotainment systems and climate control, accessory systems enhance comfort and convenience for drivers and passengers alike.
