My car has been stalling recently and my friend said it could be an electrical issue, but I’m skeptical. What electrical problems can cause a car to stall?

Unfortunately, there’s no way to settle your debate without more details on your car and the issues it’s having, but an electrical problem can sometimes be the culprit if your car is stalling.
Some electrical problems that could cause a car to stall include:
  • Corroded, stripped or detached electrical wiring.
  • Fault or dying
    alternator.
  • A bad battery.
If you suspect this could be the case, it’s important to
get your car to a mechanic
as soon as possible.
