Signs that your battery may need replacing include difficulty starting your car, dimming headlights, or a slow-cranking engine. Additionally, if your car's battery is more than 3–5 years old, it’s a good idea to have it tested, as batteries naturally lose their charge capacity over time.

The lifespan of a car battery is typically 3–5 years, depending on factors like climate, driving habits, and how often the car is used. Extreme temperatures (both hot and cold) can also shorten a battery's life, so it’s important to have your battery checked regularly to avoid unexpected breakdowns.

Common signs of a failing alternator include dimming headlights, warning lights on the dashboard (such as the battery light), unusual noises from the engine, or difficulty starting the car. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to have your alternator checked promptly, as a malfunctioning alternator can lead to a dead battery.

The starter is responsible for initiating the engine's operation by turning it over when you turn the key or push the start button. The alternator, on the other hand, charges the battery while the engine is running and powers the vehicle's electrical systems. Both components are critical to your car’s ability to start and function properly.

Power steering fluid should be checked regularly, typically every 30,000–60,000 miles, depending on your vehicle’s make and model. If you notice a whining sound when turning the steering wheel, difficulty steering, or fluid leaks under your car, it’s a good idea to have your power steering system inspected and serviced.

Dimming or flickering lights are often a sign of a weak battery or failing alternator. It could also indicate issues with the electrical wiring or charging system. If you experience this, it’s important to have your vehicle’s electrical system thoroughly checked to identify and fix the issue.

It’s not advisable to drive with a weak or dying battery, as it can lead to your vehicle unexpectedly stalling or failing to start. A weak battery can also cause strain on other electrical components like the alternator, leading to further damage. If your battery is showing signs of failure, it’s best to replace it as soon as possible.

If you hear a clicking sound when trying to start your car or if the engine doesn’t turn over at all, it could be a sign that your starter is failing. If the starter is not functioning properly, your car won’t start, so it’s important to have it inspected and replaced if needed.
