• Slow cranking, especially on a cold morning
• Dimming lights or electronics resetting at startup
• Battery warning light or an aging battery

These checks help determine whether the battery itself is weak or whether the charging system needs attention. Technicians also clean and inspect the terminals and hold-down. You can schedule service at David McDavid Ford in Fort Worth.
