Background and Identification

Accessories for cars and trucks can range from convenience items to important maintenance tools. For example, keyless entry remotes allow the user to enter the car with just the push of a button or, in some cases, just by the proximity of a device. This works because the car can detect a signal from the unlocking device, and when the device is close enough, the car doors can be unlocked. When the device is too far away, the doors of the car will automatically lock.

Car and truck accessories can be for aesthetic purposes, or for vital maintenance in the case of an emergency. If you’re going on a long trip, it is important to have jump starting equipment in the car. This will help you if the car breaks down at some point. Car maintenance equipment usually includes jumper cables, sometimes called booster cables or jump leads. These are a pair of insulated wires with clips at either end. You can connect these clips to the disabled car at one end and to another source at the other end, like another vehicle or battery. This can be used to restart a car battery. Jump starting a car can be dangerous, and you should carefully follow instructions when doing so. There are many resources online that can help, or your car’s manual may have instructions on jump starting a disabled car.

Having proper accessories to operate your car or truck is extremely important for safe and reliable operation. These guides can provide support and troubleshooting for the following accessories:
