Charging System inspection, diagnostics & maintenance:

Your car's charging system components are:

  • Fusing

 

Inspect the battery to check if the terminal posts and clamps shows oxidation, if there are dirt & electrolytes between battery terminals.

Measure voltage across the battery terminals while engine is running.

Check for signs of a failing alternator such dimming of the headlights, of the dashboard lights. 

Listen for unusual sounds like grining or whining noises.
