Common auto electrical jobs in Legana

Legana has gone from orchards and dairy farms to a busy commuter town, and the jobs reflect families with two or three vehicles and plenty of school and work runs.

Second cars that sit too long

Many Legana households have a second car that only comes out a couple of times a week. Modern cars draw a small current even when parked, from alarms, keyless entry and computers, and a car that sits for a fortnight can be flat. If you are getting a slow crank after a few days off, it may be the battery or a draw that is higher than it should be. Why does my car battery keep going flat covers the usual causes.

Towbar wiring for new trailers and campers

A new block often means a new box trailer for garden waste and a camper or boat for weekends. Many recent cars need a vehicle-specific towbar wiring harness or a module so the trailer lights don't upset the car's own electronics. Splicing straight into tail light wiring can trigger warning lights or bulb faults on these models. Check which harness suits your car before you buy the trailer plug. Our guide do I need a towbar wiring harness explains why.

Reversing cameras for busy driveways

With kids, bikes and bins around new estate driveways, reversing cameras and parking sensors are a common add-on for older cars that never had them. A wired camera running to a mirror or head unit display gives a more reliable picture than a cheap wireless kit. Wiring it to the reverse light circuit with a proper fuse keeps it simple and safe.

Remote and central locking faults

Remote keys that only work from close range, doors that won't lock with the rest, or an alarm that goes off on its own are frequent annoyances. Often it is just a weak key battery, but a failing door lock actuator or broken wiring in the door hinge loom is also common on cars that see years of school runs. Trying a new key battery first is cheap and quick.

Air conditioning that fogs up in winter

People think of air con as a summer thing, but in the Tamar Valley it is just as useful in winter for clearing a fogged windscreen. If the system runs but won't demist, or the compressor never seems to kick in, it may be low on refrigerant or have an electrical fault in the pressure switch or relay. Refrigerant work needs a licensed technician. Common car air conditioning problems lists the usual signs.

Legana auto electrical questions

Is it worth fitting a dashcam for the drive from Legana into Launceston?

Many locals think so. The West Tamar Highway is busy at peak times, merges and roundabouts are where most bumps happen, and footage helps sort out who did what. A front camera is the basic setup, and front-and-rear units are popular too. Hardwiring it to a switched fuse is neater than a cigarette lighter plug and won't drain the battery when parked.

Why do my trailer lights work at home but not after I hook up a different trailer?

Usually it comes down to the plug or the earth. Different trailers may have a 7-pin flat, 7-pin round or 12-pin plug, and adaptors add another joint that can corrode. A poor earth on one trailer can make lights dim or flash together. Testing each pin at the car socket with a multimeter quickly shows whether the problem is the car or the trailer.
