Common auto electrical jobs in Waverley
Waverley sits right on the Tasman Highway, so caravans, campers and touring vehicles bound for the east coast make up a good share of the work alongside local commercial vehicles.
Caravan battery not charging while towing
Heading east along the Tasman Highway for a coastal trip, you want the caravan battery to arrive full. If it doesn't, the cause is often a thin charging wire, a missing fuse, a poor plug connection or a vehicle with a smart alternator that drops voltage. A DC-DC charger in the van usually solves the smart alternator problem. Why a caravan battery isn't charging while towing explains how to track it down.

Towbar wiring and trailer plugs
New towbars need wiring before any trailer or van lights will work, and on many modern cars that means a vehicle-specific harness or module rather than tapping into the tail lights. Choosing between a 7-pin flat, 7-pin round and 12-pin plug depends on what you tow. Do I need a towbar wiring harness explains why cutting into factory wiring can upset the car's electronics.

4WD and camping accessories
Plenty of Waverley locals head out for camping and fishing trips, so 4WDs here often carry fridges, camp lights, driving lights and UHF radios. Each accessory adds load and another connection that can work loose on rough roads. Good installs use the right cable size, sealed connectors and a fuse close to the power source. What size cable do I need helps you pick cable that won't overheat or drop voltage.

Heater fans and demisters
On a cold morning, a heater fan that only works on the highest setting or a rear demister that has stopped working is a real problem for visibility. Fans that only work on high often have a failed resistor. A rear demister may have a broken grid line or a bad connection at the tab on the glass. Some of these are simple fixes. Air conditioning gas work, though, must be done by a licensed technician.

Waverley auto electrical questions
Should I get my caravan wiring checked before an east coast trip?
It's a good idea, especially if the van has been sitting over winter. A check covers the lights, plug, brakes, battery health and charging from the tow vehicle. Faults are easier and cheaper to fix in Launceston than on the side of the Tasman Highway, where there are fewer services between towns.
Which trailer plug should I fit to my car?
Match the plug to what you tow most. Small box trailers often use a 7-pin flat plug, while caravans commonly use a 12-pin plug that carries extra circuits for charging and power. If you tow different trailers, an adaptor can help, but check it carries the circuits you need for brakes and charging.
Local tip for Waverley
Before heading out of Waverley on the Tasman Highway with a van or trailer, do a full light check in the driveway with someone watching: tail lights, brake lights, both indicators and reversing lights. Then check the van battery is charging with the engine running. Ten minutes at home can save a long wait on a quiet stretch of road for help.
