Common auto electrical jobs in Relbia
Relbia is a semi-rural locality about 12 km south-east of Launceston, split between the City of Launceston and Northern Midlands. The North Esk River forms its north-eastern boundary, and the Western rail line runs through. Most homes sit on acreage, with room for floats, caravans and work vehicles.
Unlit roads after dark
Relbia Road and the side roads off it have very little street lighting, and wallabies cross often at dusk. Good headlights are the starting point, then a pair of LED driving lights for open stretches. Wire them through a relay and fuse, set them to switch on only with high beam, and aim them so they light the road rather than the trees. Our guide on how to wire a 12V relay explains the circuit.

Horse floats and trailer lights
Lifestyle blocks in Relbia often mean horse floats and stock trailers. Floats sit outside between uses, and their lights suffer from damp, mud and the odd kick. When lights fail, the cause is usually a corroded plug, a broken earth or a damaged lamp. Upgrading to sealed LED lights reduces maintenance. Our guide on why trailer lights stop working shows how to trace the fault.

Caravan power and solar
If a caravan lives on the block between trips, solar keeps its battery charged, and a DC-DC charger tops it up while you drive. Size the panel to your daily use, not just the fridge. Our guide on how much solar you need for a caravan helps you work it out. Add a battery monitor so you can see how much is left at a glance.

Alternator checks on work utes
Utes running between paddocks, stables and the highway carry extra loads: lights, fridges and pumps. A weak alternator shows up as dim lights at idle, a battery that won't stay charged, or a warning light that flickers. Testing the output with the engine running quickly shows whether the alternator, belt or wiring is at fault. Catching a tired alternator early also protects the battery from repeated deep discharge.

Relbia auto electrical questions
Why isn't my caravan battery charging while I tow?
Common causes are a thin charge wire with too much voltage drop, a blown fuse at the car end, or a smart alternator that lowers its output. A DC-DC charger fixes most of these. Our guide on why a caravan battery isn't charging while towing goes through each check.
Can driving lights be on all the time?
No. Driving lights should only switch on with high beam and go off when you dip, so they don't dazzle other drivers. Wire them through the high beam circuit using a relay. Check Tasmanian rules for mounting height and number of lights if you're unsure.
Local tip for Relbia
Before you hitch the horse float in Relbia, plug it in and test every light while it's still in the paddock. A faulty earth or corroded pin is much easier to deal with at home than on the side of a busy highway with horses on board.
