When you think of car problems, the first thing that probably comes to mind is a dead battery. But what about ignition modules? In recent years, there have been a number of reports of these modules causing car problems. What are ignition modules and what are they supposed to do? Well, basically, they’re the parts of your car that allow you to start the engine. And like batteries, they can also fail. If your car won’t start and you think it may be due to an ignition module, there are a few things you should do to investigate. First, check the battery; if it’s completely blown, there’s not much else you can do. If the battery is just low, try starting the engine with a jump starter; this will tell you if the module is the problem. If the engine still won’t start, then it may be time for a new one.
What is an Ignition Module?
An ignition module is a small, electronic device that helps start the car. When you turn the key in the ignition, the module sends a signal to the car’s engine.
How Can An Ignition Module Cause Car To Start Then Die?
An ignition module is a device that controls the electrical system in a car. Many times, an ignition module can cause a car to start then die. This is because the module may be defective and not able to properly power up the car’s electrical system. In some cases, the problem may stem from a faulty wire connecting the module to the car’s battery. If this wire is damaged, it can short out and cause the car to stop running.
Safe Alternatives to using an ignition module
There are a few alternatives to using an ignition module in your car. One is to use a battery backup system. If your car has a battery backup system, you can connect the battery to the car’s electrical system and use that as your primary power source. This will prevent you from having to rely on the ignition module to start your car.
Another alternative is to use a mechanical key switch. A mechanical key switch does not require any electronics, so it is less likely to fail. You can install a mechanical key switch yourself or have it installed by a mechanic.
Conclusion
I’ve had a few readers write in recently asking if an ignition module can be the root cause of their car not starting. The short answer is no, but there are a few potential causes that should be investigated. If you’re having trouble starting your car and the problem seems to be with the ignition module, it’s best to have it checked out by a mechanic. In the meantime, here are several things you can do to troubleshoot the issue:
