A car battery, like all components, has a limited lifespan and will eventually fail. Fortunately, the battery always shows some signs that something is wrong, so you have enough time to replace it before it dies. As your Nissan dealership, we'd like you to know a few signs you need to visit us for a battery replacement. Dim Headlights Dim headlights can be a sign that your battery is failing. When your engine is switched off, the battery supplies power to all your Nissan's systems until the engine is running again. If the battery is weak, it can't store enough power to supply all the systems. This can mean a system receives enough power to switch on but not enough to work as efficiently as it should. more You can test the battery to check if it's weak by rechecking the headlight brightness when the engine is switched on. If the lights burn brighter, your battery is probably running out of juice. Alternatively, if the lights are still dim, you may need replacement headlight bulbs. If the battery seems to be the problem, we'll check it to confirm the diagnosis and install a new one to fix the problem. Check Battery Light The battery light looks like a line drawing of a battery with + and - signs. This light illuminates in response to any issue that affects the electrical system. Sensors are attached to all your Nissan's important components, and they continually supply information to your vehicle computer. These sensors can detect even minute changes in their connected component. A healthy battery supplies 12.6 volts, while at 12.3 volts, it's at 3/4 charge. If the sensors detect the battery voltage at 12.2 or lower, they inform your computer, and the warning light will light up. Our technicians will test your battery, and we can install a new one in minutes if the original is failing. Rotten Egg Smell A rotten egg smell from under the hood means your battery is weakening. This nasty smell is produced by hydrogen sulfide. Hydrogen sulfide is a corrosive, toxic gas that can form when a battery is failing. A battery contains sulfuric acid, which is used to provide the chemical reactions that enable the battery to store and supply electricity. The acid slowly breaks down naturally as the battery ages, and hydrogen gas is released as part of the breakdown process. Hydrogen gas wafts out of the battery and mixes with sulfur molecules in the engine compartment, forming hydrogen sulfide. We can't fix the worn battery, but we can install a new one to prevent it from failing. If you suspect your battery is in trouble, contact us today at Ken Ganley Nissan Mayfield in Mayfield Heights, OH.

If you're planning to replace your car, you'll need a plan for your existing one. Selling it privately is one option, but this can be time-consuming and stressful. A more convenient alternative is simply to trade it in at your local Nissan dealership when you pick up your new car. 1) Transparent and Fair Pricing If you're planning to use your current car as a deposit, it's essential to be able to get an accurate idea of its trade-in value. Nissan uses the Kelley Blue Book system, which provides you with a clear value based on your car's details. By entering the information online in advance, you'll receive an offer that's valid for seven days. This figure can be used either as cash, credit, or as a trade-in, giving you a fair and transparent value for your car. more 2) Convenient Handover Arranging the sale of your current car and the collection of your new car requires a smooth and coordinated approach. You don't want to be without a car for a prolonged period, but conversely, having two cars unnecessarily can be inconvenient. When you trade in your vehicle, you drop one car off and drive away in the new car. This ensures a smooth handover with no awkward planning required. 3) All Cars Accepted No matter what condition your car is in, you can trade it in. The valuation takes note of the condition, so there's no need for expensive repairs or cosmetic work to prepare it for trading in. With all cars valued by Kelley Blue Book accepted, there's no need to waste time, money, or energy on getting it ready. 4) Existing Finance Settled If your car still has an outstanding loan, this will need to be settled before the car can be transferred to a new owner. When you trade in your car with Nissan, they'll handle all the paperwork to get the financing sorted. When you agree on the trade-in, any existing loans will be checked and settlement will be part of the agreement. 5) No Time-Consuming Sales or Advertising Selling a used car can be an uphill battle, especially if it's not in prime condition. You may even need to get some repairs done to make it attractive to buyers. Online listings make it easier to reach a potential buyer, but you may have to list in multiple places and pay several advertising fees. You'll also need to accommodate visits and checks from potential buyers, which can be time-consuming with no guarantee of a sale. If you've got a car to trade in, our simple online valuation process makes it easy.

Imagine how unpleasant it was to drive in the heat of summer before air conditioning? This wonderful device keeps us cool and refreshed no matter the heat outside. If your AC stops working on a warm summer's day, you'll soon notice the difference. Keep an eye out for the following signs that you need prompt air conditioning maintenance at your local Nissan dealership; the earlier you catch and repair a fault, the better. Only Warm Air Blowing Refrigerant is a sophisticated substance that flows through the AC system, turning back and forth from liquid to gaseous form, cooling the air as it does so. If your refrigerant leaks, the entire system will stop cooling your cabin even though air will keep blowing from the vents. more Refrigerant is remarkably hard to see with the naked eye as it's almost transparent and evaporates rapidly in the open air. One of our technicians can inject a fluorescent leak tracer dye into the system and then use a blacklight to locate the leak, which may originate in the evaporator, compressor, condenser, or one of the hoses or hose connections. No Air Blowing at All If air stops blowing from the vents, the blower motor or blower resistor might have malfunctioned. The issue could also stem from a faulty belt or hose, or a problem with the fuse or relay. Additionally, a clogged air intake vent could obstruct airflow, impacting AC performance. Rattling and Other Noises Your AC should be quiet as it cools your cabin. Strange sounds such as rattling or knocking might simply be a leaf or other debris trapped inside the vents. These noises might also mean the compressor's clutch is malfunctioning, which is a little harder to fix. And grinding or squealing noises could point to a worn-out bearing. Smells of Mildew and Mold When left unused for a few weeks or months, moisture inside the air-con system can provide a fertile breeding ground for mold, mildew, and all kinds of bacteria. Then, when you eventually switch on the AC again, the spores from this contamination sweep into the cabin, carrying a very unpleasant smell. As this moldy air can be unhealthy to breathe, it's best to have your AC cleaned right away. Get Quick Air Conditioning Maintenance at Your Nissan Dealership Your car's air conditioner is a complex system with several different components. As such, it's unwise to attempt to repair it yourself. It's far more time and cost-efficient to allow one of our technicians to diagnose and promptly fix the fault. Visit Ken Ganley Nissan Mayfield in Mayfield Heights, OH, to have your AC problems remedied. With swift, courteous service, we can return your car's cabin to comfortable and cool again in no time.
