Common auto electrical jobs in Nunamara

Nunamara is about 14 km north-east of Launceston, along the St Patricks River, a tributary of the North Esk. Around 300 people live here, almost all in standalone houses on rural blocks, and most rely on the Tasman Highway to get to town.

Night driving on the Tasman Highway

The Tasman Highway out through Nunamara winds through hills and bush with long unlit stretches, and wildlife is common at night. Dim or poorly aimed headlights make a big difference here. Check the aim after any globe change, replace globes in pairs, and restore cloudy lenses. Our guide on how to change your headlight globe explains the steps for most cars.

When a warning light comes on out of town

A warning light 14 km from town is more worrying than one in the city, so it helps to know which ones are urgent. Red lights such as oil pressure, temperature or brakes mean stop safely. Amber lights like check engine or ABS usually mean get it checked soon. Our guide on what to do when a dashboard warning light comes on goes through the common ones.

Flat batteries and jump starts

On a rural block, a flat battery often means waiting a while for help. A lithium jump pack in the glovebox lets you start the car yourself, and it's safer than jumper leads from another vehicle. Connect in the right order, and follow the instructions for your car. Our guide on how to jump-start a car safely covers the correct sequence.

Reversing cameras for driveways and trailers

Long rural driveways, gates and sheds are easier to manage when you can see behind you clearly. A reversing camera also makes hitching a trailer a one-person job. Wired cameras give the most reliable picture, while wireless models suit trailers and caravans. Seal every join, run cables through grommets, and fuse the power supply properly. A camera with guide lines takes the guesswork out of lining up a towbar.

Nunamara auto electrical questions

Are lithium jump starters any good?

A quality lithium jump starter is compact and can start most petrol cars and many diesels several times on one charge. Choose one rated for your engine size, keep it charged every few months, and store it out of direct sun. It won't fix a battery that's failed, but it'll get you moving so you can have it tested.

My headlights look dim. Is it the globes or the lenses?

It's often both. Halogen globes lose brightness well before they blow, and plastic lenses yellow and cloud with age, cutting light output further. Compare against a newer car at night, or try new globes first. If the lenses are cloudy, restoring or replacing them can make a big difference.

Local tip for Nunamara

Living out along the Tasman Highway, it's worth keeping a jump starter, a torch and a phone charging cable in the car year-round. Charge the jump pack every few months, especially before winter. If you ever need help, being able to see under the bonnet and keep your phone alive makes everything easier.
