Electrical and Electronic Systems in Burnaby, BC
A flickering light, a dead accessory or a warning light that will not clear is usually electrical rather than mechanical. We trace wiring, sensor and module faults to the actual cause instead of swapping parts.

Know the signs
Electrical faults rarely fix themselves.
Electrical faults are easy to misdiagnose by guessing. These are worth a proper trace.
A warning light that won't clear
Could be a sensor, a wiring fault or a module issue. We scan and test rather than swapping parts by guess.
Flickering lights or accessories
Often a connection or wiring issue rather than the part itself.
Battery drains overnight
Usually a parasitic draw somewhere in the electrical system, which we trace to the circuit.
An accessory that stopped working
Power windows, locks and other accessories are electrical first, mechanical second.
Intermittent faults
The hardest kind to catch. We take the time to confirm rather than guess.
A fault after other work
Worth checking the connections disturbed by recent work before assuming something new has failed.
What the job involves
What we check and repair.
Electrical diagnosis is about finding the actual fault before anything is replaced.
Wiring inspection
Checked for damage, corrosion and loose connections.
Sensor and module testing
Tested against expected values rather than replaced on a guess.
Charging and battery system
Checked when the fault could be a power supply issue rather than a specific component.
Lighting and switches
Diagnosed and repaired, including wiring repairs where that is the actual fault.
Intermittent fault tracing
Takes longer than a simple fault, and we tell you up front when that is the case.
Repair, not just replacement
We repair wiring where that is the fix, rather than defaulting to a part that will not solve it.
The M.A.P. promise
The wiring, not just the part.
We are an authorized Motorist Assurance Program service centre, which means every recommendation follows internationally recognized standards for what is worn, what is suggested and what is required.
In practice: we show you what we found, we tell you if it can safely wait, and we put it in writing.
Electrical questions, answered
The things Burnaby drivers ask us.
Straight answers. If yours is not here, call the shop and ask.
What counts as an electrical system repair?
Wiring, sensors, modules, lighting, switches and the charging system, anything electrical rather than mechanical.
Why does my dashboard warning light keep coming on?
It could be a sensor, a wiring fault or a module. We scan it and test the circuit before we swap any parts.
Can you trace an intermittent electrical fault?
Yes, that is what diagnosis is for. Intermittent faults take longer to confirm, and we will tell you if yours needs more time.
Do you repair wiring, not just replace parts?
Yes. Where a wiring fault is found, we repair it rather than defaulting to a part replacement that will not fix it.
Is this different from check-engine-light diagnostics?
It overlaps. A check-engine light is often an electrical or sensor fault, and we diagnose it the same way.
Do you work on all makes?
Domestic and import, cars, light trucks and SUVs. We are a full-service auto centre in Burnaby, not a tire-only shop.
