Battery FAQs

To preserve your car’s memory, use a car memory saver or another secondary power source. If you don’t have one, Lang’s Auto LLC can handle the process for you. Here’s how it’s done:

  1. Turn off your car before disconnecting the battery.
  2. Connect the memory saver to the cigarette lighter or OBD2 connector.
  3. Remove the old battery, install the new one, and attach the connectors.
  4. Finally, unplug the memory saver.

Handle the battery carefully to avoid dropping it. Keep tools away from touching both the negative and positive terminals simultaneously to prevent sparks, short circuits, or damage to your vehicle’s electrical components. Ensure the cables are kept aside until the new battery is securely in place. Attach the negative cable first, followed by the positive. If you’re unsure, consult a professional at Lang’s Auto LLC.

The most frequent mistake is mixing up the negative and positive cables, which can damage your alternator. Always connect black to negative and red to positive. Other common errors include using low-quality cables, letting cables become detached, touching the clips together, and ignoring cracked batteries or dirty terminals.

A complete loss of battery power may cause your car’s computer system to lose data essential for engine performance. While the system usually re-calibrates itself, you might notice stalling temporarily. If the issue persists, cleaning the throttle body or idle air control valve may resolve it, as carbon deposits can interfere with proper regulation.

Headlight FAQs

Yes, the front turn signal and parking lights typically use the same bulb. Side bulbs, however, are located inside the wheel wells. Keep in mind that all lights eventually burn out and will need replacement.

Ensure your headlights are working before driving. Use them:

  1. From sunset to sunrise.
  2. When visibility is less than 400 feet.
  3. During rain, snow, or whenever windshield wipers are in use.

Studies also suggest driving with headlights ON always can reduce accidents.
