4. Blown Fuse
Your vehicle’s electronics rely on fuses and relays to operate, and a blown fuse can mean big trouble – anything from your wipers not working to the fuel pump failing. Again, proper maintenance is important, but you can handle some of this yourself. Keep a box of spare fuses and a fuse puller in the car to avoid serious issues.
3. Wiper Trouble
Summer is synonymous with sunshine and warm weather, but also with thunderstorms, which can be severe. If your wipers aren’t up to snuff, you could find yourself waiting out the storm on the side of the road, or, worse yet, involved in an accident. Change your wiper blades once every six months.
2. Engine Trouble
Engine trouble can include almost anything, from overheating to the oil light coming on while you’re driving. Whatever it is, you can bet that you won’t be enjoying your trip much. Have your oil changed before the trip, and ensure that the mechanic inspects the engine at the same time.
