Electrical, Auxiliary Power and Solar

Fleet electrical work covers diagnostics, wiring repair, auxiliary battery and inverter systems, solar charging, lighting, and camera installation. It addresses the body and accessory electrical systems that keep upfitted equipment running, not engine management.

Overview

What this covers for Irvine fleets

Electrical faults are the most frustrating problem on a fleet vehicle because they are intermittent. A light that works in the yard and fails on the route, a liftgate that is slow only when loaded, a camera that drops out over bumps. These are almost always connection or voltage drop problems rather than component failures.

The other half of our electrical work is building capability: auxiliary battery banks, inverters, and solar so a service vehicle can run equipment without idling the engine all day.

Scope note: this is body and accessory electrical work. Engine management and drivetrain electronics are outside what we do.

FAQ

Electrical, Auxiliary Power and Solar questions

Why does my equipment work in the yard but fail on the road?

That pattern almost always points to a connection that opens under vibration or a voltage drop that only appears under load. Both are found by testing under the conditions where the fault occurs rather than at idle in a bay.

Do you diagnose engine electrical faults?

No. We work on body, accessory, and upfit electrical systems. Engine management and drivetrain electronics are outside our scope and we will tell you that rather than charging diagnostic time on something we do not repair.

How is diagnostic time charged?

Diagnostics run at $285 per hour with a one hour minimum, credited against an authorized repair when you proceed with the work.

Can solar keep my equipment running without idling?

For moderate loads, often yes. It depends on the daily energy requirement against available roof area. We size the system against your actual load rather than selling a fixed package.

Need electrical, auxiliary power and solar in Irvine?

Body, paint, structural and upfit work, all performed at our Yorba Linda facility. Tell us the vehicle and the damage and we will schedule intake.
